<p>The Assad regime is responsible for the crisis in Syria; there is no realistic
prospect of peace while Assad is in power. The only way to end the violence, and counter
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, is through inclusive governance which can
represent all communities, free from Assad. The UK continues to believe that a negotiated
political transition in Syria, in line with the Geneva communiqué, is the only way
to end the conflict and alleviate Syria’s humanitarian crisis. The UN is best placed
to facilitate any talks between the regime and the opposition designed to help bring
about a political settlement.</p>
