The president of the United Nations Security Council, Gary Quinlan, outlined that members were pressing for a follow up on last weeks chemical weapons resolution that demands immediate access to Syria for humanitarian aid.
The president said that the draft statement calls for the Syrian government to provide access to deliver aid in “the most effective ways, including across conflict lines and, where appropriate, across borders from neighbouring countries,” whilst condemning the widespread violations of human rights by both sides.
The Russian Ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, told press that Russia would also approve of the draft statement on humanitarian aid.
