FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “There are now 189 monitors on the ground,” said Hassan Siklawi, a representative of the UN mission in Syria.
The first group of the UN observers arrived in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on April 15. The observers were approved for the mission according to UN Security Council Resolution 2042 passed on April 14.
On April 21, the UN Security Council met and unanimously voted on Resolution 2043 to send a mission of 300 observers to Syria.
The Security Council “established, for an initial 90-day period, a supervision mission, to be known as UNSMIS, comprising an initial and expeditious deployment of up to 300 unarmed military observers, including an appropriate civilian component and air transportation assets, to monitor a cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties,” reads Resolution 2043.
The ceasefire was part of a six-point peace plan proposed by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan in March.
On May 10, Syrian state TV said 55 people were killed and about 400 injured in two bomb attacks carried out by the “terrorists” on a main freeway in the southern neighborhood of Qazzaz in Damascus. The attacks were carried out despite the presence of UN monitors.
The bombings in Damascus were conducted a day after a similar attack targeted a Syrian military truck escorting a convoy of UN observers near the southwestern city of Dara’a on May 9. Six Syrian soldiers were wounded in the attack.
Meanwhile, the Syrian official news agency SANA said President Bashar al-Assad has issued a decree on Sunday, ordering the formation of a “Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC).”
According to the presidential decree, the SCC will consist of seven members, who will serve for a period of four years, which could be renewed. However, SANA did not clarify how many renewals of the serving period would be allowed.
The SCC is an independent judicial body and will be based in Damascus, SANA said.
The latest decree by President Assad was issued nearly a week after Syria held the first parliamentary elections on May 7 under a new constitution approved by a majority of Syrians in a February referendum.
