A human rights organisation has claimed in Syria that so far government has killed 500 protestors, while Yemeni envoy in the UN has termed the EU effort to bring a condemnation resolution a conspiracy. The resolution is also aimed at introducing sanctions against Syria. Owing to the efforts of Chian and Russia the resolution did not go through. The UN secretary general has demanded to form a commission to probe killings, although Syrian government claims to have launched the investigation herself.
