FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The British-drafted resolution was adopted unanimously on Friday after it underwent revision to allow for a possible renewal of the mission; a point which had not been included in the original draft.
Russia’s UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin had earlier said that his county will veto the UK-backed proposal that would extend the UN observer mission in Syria for a “final” 30 days. Russia had expressed support for a Pakistani proposal that would extend the mission for 45 days with no conditions and the possibility of further renewals.
But after closed-door consultations called by Pakistan, all 15 council members reached agreement on a revised British text.
On Thursday, Russia and China vetoed a Western-backed UN Security Council draft resolution against Syria, which called for new sanctions against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.
It is the third time that the two countries block an anti-Damascus resolution since the beginning of unrest in Syria last year.
Syria has been the scene of deadly unrest since mid-March, 2011 and many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
Four Syrian military and security officials were killed in a terrorist bombing at the headquarters of the Syrian National Security in the capital on Wednesday.
The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing protesters. But Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
