As the violence in Syria escalates the international community prepares for collective action in response to Bashar Al Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons against unarmed civilians. Guest's, political analysts and academics are debating the likelihood of a punitive military strike against the Syrian regime and the consequences military action could bring upon the people of Syria. Will British join forces with America and act to hold the Syria regime to account for committing alleged crimes against humanity or will the international community hold back until the release of convincing evidence to verify Assad's use of chemical weapons? Jonathan Steele is joined by Bill Bowring Professor of law at Birkbeck University, Dr. Mohamed Najjar, London adviser to the Syrian National Council, Amar Waqqaf member of the Syrian Social club and Bill Bowring Professor of law at Birkbeck University and Francesc Vendrell Former UN assistant secretary-general.
