The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has intensified pressure on Russia and China to drop their support for the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. At the end of the conference on Syrian in Paris, bringing together more than 100 countries, Mrs Cliton said the entire world is now watching the few nations that still have influence to Mr Assad to step upon showing in the right of the war. The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has recommended that the number of the UN military observers in Syria be reduced. In a report of the Security Council Mr Ban suggests the observers should be base primarily in the capital Damascus and uses contacts with both government and the opposition groups to foster a dialogue.

美国国务卿希拉里对俄罗斯及中国施压,企图让两国放弃支付叙总统阿萨德。100多个国家参加了在巴黎召开的叙利亚主题大会。希拉里在闭会时发言道,全世界都在看着少数几个国家仍在帮助阿萨德凭借武力掌握政权。联合国秘书长潘基文提议减少驻叙利亚联合国观察员人数。潘基文在联合国报告中建议:观察员应主要驻守叙利亚首都大马士革,联系政府与反对组织,以促成会谈。英国通信员Barbara Plett报道。

联合国驻叙利亚使团授权托管期两周内即将期满,联合国不得不决定延长,尽管叙利亚发生的暴力令这些手无寸铁的观察员不可能监管停火。因此,秘书长建议使团的使命由政治调节转至促成停火对话,并减少观察员人数,不过并不完全撤出。这些传达了国际社会没有放弃叙利亚的讯息。
