| UN Observers Arrive Syria to Monitor Fragile Ceasefire |
| 2012-04-17 |
| [Tripoli Post] The first six-strong advance party of observers from the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... are starting work in Syria Monday. They would make contact with the Syrian government and opposition, before beginning to monitor the fragile ceasefire. Another 24 will be arriving in Damascus ...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world... by the end of the week. The advance party from the UN's Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) arrived in the capital Damascus on Sunday, a day after the UN Security Council passed a resolution authorising their deployment. The monitors' first tasks will be to liaise with the government of Syria, the Syrian security forces and begin to reach out to the opposition so that all sides understand they've arrived, and that mission's pre-advanced team has begun its work in monitoring. This follows the Security Council's authorisation for sending an advance team of up to 30 unarmed military observers to Syria to report on the implementation of a full cessation of armed violence, pending the deployment of a United Nations supervision mission that will be tasked with monitoring the ceasefire. |
