UN aid chiefs urges arms embargo, targeted sanctions in Syria
United Nations aid chief Valerie Amos urged the UN Security Council on Friday to impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions in Syria for violations of international humanitarian law and called for pauses in fighting to allow for aid access.
Amos also asked the 15-member council to mandate the United Nations' commission of inquiry on Syria to investigate the situation in besieged areas and the militarization of schools and hospitals and attacks on these facilities.
