Global Policing by superpowers
On 7th April 2018, Douma in Syria came under an alleged chemical attack when the Assad regime was battling the rebels in the city.After preliminary reports has suggested the use of chemical like chlorine and sarin gas, today the US joined by France and England have launched percision attacks against areas in Syria.
This brings back memories of 'WMD' weapons of mass destruction claim in 2003 against Iraq that led to the Iraq invasion/war by US and UK.
Now, the collateral damage, retaliation will start. The important question that needs to be asked is whether such Global Policing by superpowers should be allowed or not?
Should the UNSC take the lead and warn or authenticate the action against the erring governments committing atrocities on civilians.
