United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the Syrian government Thursday to abide by the terms of a U.N.-brokered peace plan, declaring that the international organization did not employ monitors to Syria “just to bear witness to the slaughter of innocents.”
Speaking in Istanbul, Turkey, Ban warned that the recent massacre in Syria of more than 100 people, mostly women and children, “could plunge Syria into a civil war — a civil war from which the country would never recover,” the Associated Press reported.
The U.N. chief urged the Syrian government to implement the U.N.-crafted peace plan. “The U.N. did not deploy in Syria just to bear witness to the slaughter of innocents,” Ban said, A.P. reported. “We are not there to play the role of passive observer to unspeakable atrocities.”
Almost 300 unarmed U.N. monitors have been deployed in Syria as part of the peace plan brokered in April by the U.N.’s special envoy, Kofi Annan. However, violence has continued, most dramatically in the massacre last week of more than 100 people, mostly women and children killed in their homes, in the Syrian township of Houla.
Syria is facing extreme levels of violence as the situation becomes more precarious and all the press can talk about is Mitt Romney’s website misspelling “America.” Okay.
