UN Security Council unanimously votes in favor of Syria ceasefire resolution
2018-02-25
[PRESSTV] The United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
Security Council unanimously votes in favor of a resolution demanding a 30-day truce in Syria 'without delay'
...whatever that means...
to allow aid access and medical evacuations.

The resolution was adopted on by 15 votes to none, after several delays and a flurry of last-minute negotiations.

"It would be naïve to think that internal Syrian questions can be solved by a resolution," said Russia’s Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia.

He added that Russia had "supported the intentions" behind the document, but stresses that a ceasefire was not possible "without agreement from warring parties."

#3  Why? So everybody can re-arm, re-equip and kill each other more efficiently in 30 days? The "Let Sri Lanka Keep Bleeding" Scenario one more time.
