Enforce a No-Fly Zone over Syria
Background
Enforcing a no-fly zone over Syria would restrict or prohibit aircraft from flying over the country, aiming to protect civilians from aerial bombings and chemical attacks. Proponents believe it could significantly reduce regime-led atrocities and give opposition forces a strategic advantage. However, opponents argue that implementing a no-fly zone could escalate military involvement, risk confrontations with Syria's allies, and require substantial international support and resources, highlighting the complexities of intervention in such a conflicted region.
