The Situation in Syria Inspired by uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt - the Arab Spring Increasing protest and crackdown with an estimated 7,500 dead The country is perilously close to civil war as the ranks of a rebel army swell with defecting soldiers and as government forces step up their assaults on towns and cities The Arab League monitoring mission has ended in failure. "It's not a war in Syria, but in parts of Homs it's starting to look like one“ - BBC Correspondent Jeremy Bowen

The Protestors Want… Fall of the government and President Assad End to the 48-year-old emergency law Immediate end to killings and torture Release of political prisoners and detained protesters Transition to a democratic, free and pluralistic society

Draft Resolution (Arab League) Calls on member states to take necessary steps to prevent flow of arms into Syria, without imposing an embargo Demands an immediate end to violence on all sides and calls for violators of human rights to be held accountable Calls on President Assad to hand power to a deputy and make way for free elections The UN wanted to support this proposal but China and Russia used their veto!
