UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has expressed outrage at the latest reported mass killing in Syria and said any failure by the international community to take action would be a license for further massacres. In a letter to the UN Security Council, the international peace envoy Kofi Annan said the Syrian government had violated its commitment to stop using heavy weapons in population center. From UN, here is here is Nata Tophic.

联合国秘书长潘基文对最近报道的叙利亚大规模屠杀表示了极大愤慨，他认为国际社会如何再不采取正确行动，大屠杀将恣意持续。在致联合国安理会的信中，国际和平特使安南称叙利亚政府违背了自己不在人口聚集区使用重型武器的承诺。Nata Tophic从联合国报道。

Western nations are pushing for a new UN resolution to strengthen sanctions on Syrian if it does not stop the use of heavy weapons. The draft resolution calls for diplomatic and economic but not military sanctions under chapter 7 of the UN charter. This will give President Assad ten days to cease violence before the sanctions are imposed. Russia has said it will veto such a move but western diplomats said there was no room for negotiation on the issue, insisting Russia need to realize now with the time for more pressure on its Syrian ally.

西方国家正在推进如叙利亚继续使用重武器，将加强对其制裁的联合国决议。根据联合国宪章第7章，决议草案提出外交和经济，而不是军事制裁。决议给总统阿萨德10天终止暴力行径，否则将对其实施制裁。俄罗斯表示将否决这一动议，但西方外交家称在叙利亚问题上没有协商余地，强调俄罗斯是时候给叙利亚盟国加加压了。
