A day after the double veto by Russia and China on a resolution on Syria , the UN security Council is expected to vote on a British resolution seeking to extend the mandate of its unarmed Observer Mission in Syria by 30 days. The 90 days mandate of the UNSMIS expires midnight tonight. A day ahead of the vote UN sent its top military official General Babacar Gaye to Damascus to take charge of the operations.
AIR West Asia Correspondent says that the UN Supervisory Mission in Syria, UNSMIS was sent to monitor the ceasefire in the country as a part of six point Annan peace plan to end the violence. It has 300 unarmed military observers and 100 civilian staff . However it suspended its activities on June 16 due to escalation in violence and increased risk to the unarmed observers.
The mission led by the Norwegian General Robert Mood has been criticized by the many western nations and the Syrian opposition of not being effective in its mandate. United States has said it is not in favour of extending the term of mission after the double veto by Russia and China last night. Now the only recourse left is to extend the mandate of the mission by another 30 days as a part of a British resolution. Russia had put up another resolution to extend the term of the mission by another 90 days but it couldn’t muster( इकट्ठा करना) the required support of nine members for the UN Security Council approval. If no decision is taken the UN Observer Mission in Syria would have to be disbanded.
