Arabs may call on United Nations to help in Syria
Arab League foreign ministers meet on Sunday to discuss whether to ask the United Nations to help their mission in Syria which has failed to end a 10-month crackdown on anti-government protests in which thousands have died.
Qatar proposes inviting UN technicians and human rights experts to help Arab monitors assess whether Syria is honouring a pledge to stop its crackdown, sources at the Arab League said. One source said it might request that UN staff helping the mission be Arabs. (Reuters)
