FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Annan’s six-point plan calls for a UN-supervised halt to fighting, a daily two-hour humanitarian pause to hostilities, withdrawal of government troops and heavy weapons from crisis-hit cities and access to all areas affected by the fighting.
A statement is not binding and carries less weight than a formal resolution, but the 15-nation body has warned that it will consider “further steps” if President Bashar al-Assad fails to cooperate with Annan to end a year of unrest in the country.
Russia and China, who have already vetoed two UNSC resolutions against the Syrian government, signed on to the statement after Western powers agreed to soften it.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised the UNSC statement, calling it a “positive step”.
“To President Assad and his regime, we say, along with the rest of the international community, take this path, commit to it, or face increasing pressure and isolation,” Clinton told reporters.
Annan will return to Syria soon for further talks with Syrian officials. During his last visit earlier this month, the former UN chief called for a peaceful solution to end the year-long unrest in the country.
The Syrian president has said that he is ready for any honest effort to resolve the situation in the country.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and many people, including security forces, have lost their lives in the violence.
The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing the protesters. But Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
