UN condemns human rights violations in Syria
None
The UN General Assembly signaled growing international opposition to Syria's crackdown on civilians Monday, voting overwhelmingly to condemn human rights violations by President Bashar Assad's government and calling for an immediate end to violence.
The nonbinding resolution, sponsored by Britain, France and Germany, calls on Syrian authorities to implement an Arab League peace plan. It urges withdrawing government tanks from the streets, releasing political prisoners and allowing the entry of international observers into the country. (AP)
