I move:

That the Senate—

(a) condemns the appalling human rights abuses and escalating violence in Syria, that has seen thousands of innocent civilians killed; and

(b) calls on President Assad to step down, to finally put an end to the intolerable bloodshed of the Syrian people.

Question agreed to.
