UN Security Council votes to send ceasefire monitors to Syria

The UN Security Council on Saturday unanimously voted its first ever resolution on the Syria crisis, allowing an advance party of ceasefire monitors to go to the country on the brink of civil war.

UN Resolution 2042 approved the first 30 unarmed military monitors, who are expected to to leave within days.

The resolution also calls upon the Syrian government to "implement visibly" all commitments under special envoy Kofi Annan's peace plan - including the withdrawal of all troops and heavy guns from Syrian cities.

The vote had been expected Friday but was held up by Russian objections to much of the text. Russia's ambassador Vitaly Churkin said that "substantive changes had been made to make it more balanced."

Before the vote Mr Churkin said: "Having reported to our capital we are now satisfied we can vote on the resolution."

Russia and China vetoed the last two attempts by the council to pass a resolution on the crisis.

William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, welcomed the resolution.

“The Syrian government must ensure that the Monitoring team has freedom of movement and access, and it must not obstruct communication between the monitors and headquarters," he said.

"I again urge the Syrian regime to comply with Kofi Annan’s plan in full. It must stop troop movements towards population centres; end the use of heavy weapons in civilian areas; and withdraw the military to their barracks.

“Failure to do these things will result in further international pressure on the Assad regime and steps to ensure that they are held to account.”

A new resolution with a full mandate will be required for the full monitoring mission of more than 200 observers.
