German FM calls for tougher sanctions on Syria

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle demanded the United Nations to impose urgent sanctions on the Syrian regime.

During a visit to Beirut, he said “our current efforts are not enough”, stressing the need for tougher political and diplomatic measures against the Syrian regime.
“We all know that time is not just passing but running by,” he added calling on Russia, who has the veto right, to stop backing the Syrian regime.
