The Arab League has decided to ask the UN Security Council to set up a joint peacekeeping mission to end the violence in Syria. The decision was taken at a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo. From there, Jeremy Bowen reports.
阿盟决定请求联合国安理会成立联合维和使团,以结束叙利亚的暴力局面,这个决定是与会开罗的阿盟外长们做出的。Jeremy Bowen在开罗报道。
The meeting ended without a news conference, but a statement was circulated that contained the Arab League's toughest language so far about the Syrian crisis. It remains to be seen how much of it will turn into concrete action. The statement called for the opening of communications and the financing of the Syrian opposition. It also called for a peacekeeping force approved by the UN to supervise a ceasefire, but without detailing the kind of force the Arab League had in mind. Perhaps they couldn't agree on that. But the fact that the league is even considering a peacekeeping mission into an Arab country shows the Assad regime's isolation.
会议结束时没有召开新闻发布会,但据说会议发表了一份声明,其言辞强烈,是至今为止针对叙利亚危机的最强硬表态。但声明在多大程度上能转化为行动,还是个未知数。声明呼吁开启对话,并对叙利亚反对派提供财政支持。并呼吁联合国批准组建维和部队以监督停火行动,但并没有透露阿盟想组建的军队的性质,或许他们对此还没有达成一致。想一想阿盟甚至会考虑向阿拉伯国家派驻维和使团,由此可见阿萨德政权已是四面楚歌了!
