UN General Assembly condemns Syrian violence
The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning the violence in Syria. The non-binding motion was carried with 137 votes in favour, 12 opposing, and 17 abstaining.
William Hague welcomed the vote, saying it sent a "clear signal" of the international community's condemnation of the violence.
The Foreign Secretary added: "President Assad and the Syrian regime must heed the call of the international community and allow a peaceful political transition to resolve the crisis"
Ahead of the vote, the Russian deputy foreign minister warned that his country would oppose the “unbalanced” Arab League-backed initiative, while Venezuela also opposed the resolution. The initiative also calls for Bashar al-Assad to stand down from power in Syria, where up to 7,000 civilians are reported to have been killed since the uprising began in May.
