United Nations: The United Nations has said that veto by Russia and China of a draft Security Council resolution condemning the Syrian government and endorsing anĀ Arab League plan for President Bashar al-Assad to step aside had encouraged Damascus to intensify its attacks.
“The failure of the Security Council to agree on firm collective action appears to have emboldened the Syrian government to launch an all-out assault in an effort to crush dissent with overwhelming force,” U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, said.
An Arab League proposal to boost support for the uprising and send in foreign peacekeepers has drawn a guarded response, even as Syrian forces bombarded opposition strongholds.
At theĀ United Nations, diplomats said a draftĀ General AssemblyĀ resolution which “fully supports” the Arab LeagueĀ plan and introduces a call for the appointment of a joint U.N.-Arab League envoy, could be put to a vote later this week.
