UN approves resolution on Syria observer mission – CNN.com
(CNN) — The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Saturday to approve a resolution to allow international observers into Syria to monitor a shaky cease-fire, as reports of clashes continue to emerge from across the country.
The resolution calls on the Middle Eastern nation to allow the deployment of an advance team of up to 30 international observers and give them unimpeded freedom of movement. It remains unclear, however, if the deployment will help stem the violence that continues despite an official cessation of hostilities days earlier.
The U.N. resolution, the first on Syria since violence gripped the country more than a year ago, also calls on all parties to end armed violence.
