UN to vote on Syria resolution

The UN Security Council has agreed a draft resolution on sending 300 international monitors to Syria, after considering two versions, BBC News reported.

The final draft, which merges details of Russian and European versions, would see military observers and civilian experts initially deployed for three months.

A handful of observers are already said to be in Syria monitoring the fragile ceasefire.

The Security Council is due to vote on the resolution later on Saturday.

Although overall violence has fallen, countless ceasefire violations have already been reported by activists and reporters on the ground.

France’s UN ambassador Gerard Araud said the text of a resolution agreed late on Friday would be voted on at 15:00 GMT on Saturday.
