Challenge to election to deliver on this

I would also had we need to cease assets of Assad in UK! It is somewhat of an irony that we have London Boroughs feeling they cannot take in Syrian refugees as they have no funds or space, yet Dr Death Assad owns a lot of expensive property around London!!!!

AN ELECTION MANIFESTO ON SYRIA
The international community has failed to protect civilians in Syria.
The Syrian conflict is still ongoing after more than six years. We have witnessed the gassing of children; the deliberate targeting of hospitals, schools, markets, and bakeries; the starvation sieges of civilian communities; the forced displacement of entire towns; and the drowning of refugees at sea.
If elected MP, I pledge to:
 1. Affirm the democratic right of Syrians to choose their own future free from dictatorship and terror.
 2. Call for the UK to track and publish details of military aircraft flights by the Assad regime and Russia that may be responsible for unlawful attacks on civilians.
 3. Call for drone aid airdrops to besieged civilians to provide immediate relief and add pressure for full ground access.
 4. Call for the UK to help enforce an end to attacks against civilian targets by the Assad regime and its allies.
 5. Call for widened sanctions against the Assad regime and its supporters for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
 6. Call for the UK to pursue all avenues to bring perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity to justice, including through universal jurisdiction as well as international legal mechanisms.
 7. Call for the UK to pursue a ‘Uniting for Peace’ vote in the UN General assembly recommending action to protect civilians.
 8. Demand the highest standards of accountability of all our Coalition partners for air strikes taking place in Syria.
