UN General Assembly begins meeting on Syria

The UN General Assembly began a debate on Syria Friday, leading to a vote on a resolution condemning the violence there, dpa reported.

The resolution, backed by Arab countries, strongly condemns the continued and widespread violence in Syria, "irrespective of where it comes from, including the series of bombings which are indicative of the presence of well-organised terrorist groups."

The resolution also demands that Syrian authorities "strictly observe" obligations under international law not to use, transfer or produce chemical and biological weapons.
