A new version of the resolution drafted by the United States was sent to other council members late Friday for national governments to decide which way to vote on the proposal on Saturday.

According to one of the articles of the new draft resolution, UN observers should be sent to Syria “immediately” to monitor a ceasefire between the Syrian government and the opposition.

After failing to acheive its objectives through deployment of Arab Leagure observers, Washington is now trying to send military observers to the Middle Eastern country to get first-hand information about the developments there and pave the way for arming the opposition groups.

Russia has objected to some parts of the draft resolution, especially the part that calls on President Bashar al-Assad to carry out a pledge to withdraw troops and heavy weapons from Syrian cities.

Russia’s UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said he was waiting to see the final draft but told reporters, “I’m not completely satisfied with the outcome of the discussion.”

Russia and China have vetoed two previous Security Council resolutions on Syria.

Since mid-March 2011, Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest, which the government blames on foreign-backed armed gangs.

The West and the Syrian opposition, however, accuse the government of killing protesters.

Since Thursday, a ceasefire has gone into effect in Syria in line with a peace plan proposed by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan in efforts to bring an end to more than a year of turmoil in the country.
