NEW YORK, 13 July 2022, (TON): The UN Security Council adopted a resolution extending a system for cross-border aid to Syria by six months, the duration demanded by Russia while other members had sought a full year.
The measure received support from 12 of the Security Council’s 15 members, including Russia, China, and the grouping’s 10 non-permanent members.
Western nations had called for a year-long extension, arguing that six months was insufficient to properly plan the delivery of aid to war-ravaged Syria.
Britain, France and the United States abstained from the vote, marking their disagreement with the shorter duration.
