UN resolution would condemn Syrian regime
None
Egypt circulated a UN General Assembly resolution Tuesday strongly condemning human rights violations by the Syrian regime and backing an Arab League plan aimed at ending the 11-month conflict in the country.
The draft resolution was finalized by Arab nations a day after UN human rights chief Navi Pillay decried Syria's escalating crackdown on civilian protesters and warned that the Security Council's recent failure to take action has emboldened President Bashar Assad's government to launch an all-out assault to crush dissent.
