The Syrian war has been a blatant example of the abuse and insufficient delivery of humanitarian assistance. This book discusses the dilemmas of how to respond to such a complex crisis while adhering to international law and practice. The author draws from first-hand diplomatic, practitioner, and UN sources. he sheds light on the UN's credibility crisis and the wider implications for the development of international humanitarian and human rights law. Was it both legally correct and morally justifiable to deliver the big bulk of aid through Damascus while destruction and suffering was mostly caused by the regime itself ? Should the UN have severed its cooperation ? Why was it so difficult to deliver cross-border aid ? The meticulous account of current international practice is both insightful and disturbing. It tackles the painful lessons learnt and provides recommendations for future challenges where politics fails and humanitarians fill the moral void.

When the Syrian regime used sarin and other chemical weapons against dissidents in August 2013, an estimated 1729 people were killed including 400 children. President Barack Obama warned that the use of chemical weapons would constitute a 'red line', but he refused to take military action. Trump's approach has been even more disengaged and lacking in clarity. This book highlights America's failure to prevent conflict escalation in Syria. Based on interviews with US officials involved in Syria policy, as well as UN personnel, the book draws conclusions about America's role in world affairs and its potential to prevent deadly conflict. It also highlights the role of frontline states in Syria and other countries who engaged in the Syrian conflict to advance their national interests. Covering key turning points in the Syrian civil war, including the impact of recent decisions by the Trump administration, this book critically evaluates America's global power and provides a diplomatic and military history of the conflict. Based on this analysis, the book offers policy recommendations and makes a case for America's future role addressing peace and conflict.
