On reading about Syria, and trying to understand the apparent
fixity of the regime's position, I stumbled upon a small item
which opened a new parenthesis of understanding: Syria has applied for
observer status to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
The SCO is a pan Asian organization, whose strong members are Russia and China.
Interestingly, and for historical and geopolitical reasons, they do not primarily define
themselves in military terms, but rather in cooperative ones. Nonetheless, they have agreed to:
"oppose intervention in other countries' internal affairs on the pretexts of 'humanitarianism' and 'protecting human rights;' and support the efforts of one another in safeguarding the five countries' national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and social stability."
One thus sees in this organization, a new political discourse.
