Russia and China have shielded Damascus from UN Security Council condemnation
by vetoing two Western-backed resolutions in six months.
But they sent a warning signal to President Assad last week by approving a
Security Council statement backing Mr Annan’s mission and warning that world
powers could take further action if the killing does not stop soon.
Mr Annan’s six-point peace plan aims at ending the violence, securing
humanitarian aid and launching a political dialogue between the government
and opposition groups.
