UN condemns Assad's Syrian forces, unease with rebels grows
UNITED NATIONS - The UN General Assembly on Wednesday condemned Syrian President Bashar Assad@@@s forces and praised the opposition Syrian National Coalition, but support for the Gulf Arab-drafted declaration was less than a similar text received last year.While the non-binding text has no legal force, resolutions adopted by the 193-nation assembly can carry significant moral and political weight. The vote result - 107 in favor, 12 against and 59 abstentions - contrasted sharply with that of a resolution that passed last year with 133 in favor.UN diplomats said the decline in support for Wednesday@@@s resolution showed growing unease about Syria@@@s fractious rebel groups fighting Assad@@@s forces in the two-year civil war.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
