Hisham Marwa, member of the legal committee, said that the “Syrian Coalition’s taking of Syria’s seat in the Arab League as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people has long been delayed. However, when this decision is officially taken, it will confirm that the criminal Assad regime has completely lost legitimacy to rule, and will represent a painful blow to the regime in front of the international community.” Marwa also points out that “we hope this decision will be an interlude to the Syrian Coalition taking Syria’s seat in the United Nations. These steps represent a diplomatic and political prelude to the collapse of the Assad regime, provided it is backed up with qualitative support for the Free Syrian Army, which will tip the balance and end the suffering of the Syrian people.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
