Angelina Jolie appeared at the United Nations Security Council meeting in New York City today to speak about the refugee crisis in Syria, and she had some very strong words for her colleagues.

"We cannot look at Syria, and the evil that has arisen from the ashes of indecision, and think this is not the lowest point in the world's inability to protect and defend the innocent," Jolie said at the meeting. "We are standing by in Syria."

Jolie added that the council must "work as one," and she urged members to visit Syrian refugees and see the crisis for themselves. Jolie has made 11 visits to Syrian refugee camps since the conflict began in 2011.

Jolie also discussed the crisis in the Mediterranean, where over 1,300 migrants fleeing Syria and other parts of the middle east have perished while trying to escape. "It is sickening to see thousands of refugees drowning on the doorstep of the world's wealthiest continent," she said. "No one risks the lives of their children in this way except out of utter desperation."
