联合国人权委员会以绝大多数支持，谴责叙利亚政府镇压民主抗议者的侵犯人权暴行。此前安理会试图通过一项类似的决议，然被俄罗斯和中国否决。BBC驻联合国记者称，人权委员会没有安理会那样的法律权力，不过这使叙利亚在国际上更加孤立。

The Pakistani ambassador to the United States has resigned over allegations that he wrote a memo asking for Washington's help to restrain Pakistan's military. Husain Haqqani denied any involvement in the memo forwarded to America's most senior military officer Admiral Mike Mullen. Aleem Maqbool reports from Islamabad.

巴基斯坦驻美国大使已经辞职，他被指控写备忘录，请求美国帮助遏制巴基斯坦军队。侯赛因·哈卡尼否认牵扯到一份写给美军最高级军官迈克•马伦上将的备忘录。AleemMaqbool在伊斯坦布尔报道。

Though he denies it, the accusation is that earlier this year, as ambassador to Washington, Mr Haqqani drew up a memo to America's most senior military officer Admiral Mike Mullen. In it, it's alleged the Pakistani government asked for American help to weaken the Pakistani army, which it was feared might stage a coup. That for many Pakistanis amounted to nothing less than treason, and so there has been a clamour for Mr Haqqani to go.

军官哈卡尼对此否认，指控称今年早些时候，作为驻华盛顿大使的哈卡尼，曾写备忘录给美国最高级军官迈克•马伦上将。据称，巴基斯坦政府在备忘录中请求美国帮助削弱巴基斯坦军队，担心此举是政变的开始。对很多巴基斯坦人来说，这分明是叛国行为，所以，要求哈卡尼辞职的声音很高。
