<p>Lakhdar Brahimi has played a crucial role as joint UN and Arab League Special Envoy
for Syria since June 2012. He showed strong leadership and great patience in getting
the parties to the conflict round the same table in Geneva and take the first steps
towards potentially constructive dialogue. The responsibility for the collapse of
negotiations rests wholly with the regime's refusal to engage in discussion on an
agenda for future talks put forward by Mr Brahimi. The appointment and mandate of
any future UN Special Envoy is still under consideration by the UN.</p>
