NEW
YORK - Peacekeeping Commander of the United Nations, Herve
Ladsous, Monday (22/10/2012), asserted that the United Nations has
devised a plan to put peacekeepers in Syria.The plan is still tentative and need approval from the UN Security Council.Ladsous said that if the proposed ceasefire UN Special Envoy and the Arab League, Lakhdar Brahimi, accepted President Bashar al-Assad and the opposition, the UN is ready to put peacekeepers in Syria. Of course, after the UN Security Council approval.
The plan is still tentative because there is currently no sign of fighting would stop even Brahimi has met with the warring factions, the stronghold of Assad and opposition groups inside and outside Syria. He suggested that they conduct a four-day truce in honor of Eid al-Adha on Friday, October 26th is.
"Of course we were very thought of what would happen if and when a political solution or at least a cease-fire is reached soon," said Ladsous told reporters in New York, USA.
Violence in Syria that have been running 19 months that left tens of thousands dead and missing. Syrian Human Rights Monitoring Organization (SOHR) reported that 34,000 people had been killed. U.S. human rights activists, Human Rights Watch (HRW), adding that during the conflict that 28,000 people were reported missing.
"We are currently in a state of readiness to act if it is needed, and the mandate was approved," Ladsous said when asked about the reported troops were being readied.
He said media reports that UN personnel have been alerted 3000 peacekeepers to Syria "absolutely theoretical". It is too early to say the number of UN personnel to be deployed.
Veto threat
According Ladsous, every deployment of UN troops everywhere always must be approved by the 15 member states of the UN Security Council. In the past and until recently, Russia and China, two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council that Syria's closest ally, always use the power to veto any proposal that threatens Assad approx.
Russia and China do not want a military intervention into Syria's Assad forces or disarm. They agreed with the proposal of a truce, but refused to depose Assad from power seats today.
In April, the 300 unarmed UN monitors have been placed in Syria. They then pulled due to increasing violence forces and Assad's regime rejected foreign interference.
