IRC president David Miliband calls for a United Nations Security Council resolution on humanitarian access in war-torn Syria as the 2014 Winter Olympics open in Sochi, Russia.

Security Council to come together to defend human life and dignity through a binding resolution that demands unimpeded humanitarian access to protect civilians caught up in the Syria conflict."
