The World's Next Genocide

I believe that Catholic Social Teaching tells us that in the situation in Syria, other countries must become more involved if we want to protect human life. However, because both sides of the fight are committing acts against humanity, it is harder to apply CST adequately. The author is correct when he reflects that the only way that the world can help fairly is by warming both sides that anyone can be tried at International Criminal Court. We must refrain from taking up with one side, because that is not fair to the citizens of the other side that could become victims. There is not much that we can do individually in this situation, though. The only way to solve this problem is to stop both sides from committing horrible acts.
