Syria pursuing 'freezing of conflict' in certain areas to allow passage for humanitarian aid

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The outspoken new UN envoy on Syria said Thursday he is pursuing an "action plan" that involves freezing the conflict in certain areas, possibly starting with Aleppo, to allow for humanitarian aid and local steps of a political process toward wider peace.

 

Staffan de Mistura, in his first briefing to the UN Security Council, also said the "horrific trigger" of the Islamic State group's recent onslaught offers an opportunity for another approach to a solution to the deeply entrenched conflict.
