UN Security Council should approve a mandate for international mission in Syria.
The UN Security Council should approve a mandate of any international mission in Syria, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Syrian government forces renewed their assault on the rebellious city of Homs on Tuesday, activists said, as the U.N. human rights chief raised fears of civil war.

At the last meeting of the Arab League it was decided to send UN peacekeeping forces to Syria. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow was studying the suggestions of the Arab League. Later Russian Presidential Middle East Ambassador Mikhail Bogdanov added that Russia did not rule out its participation in a potential UN peacekeeping mission to Syria.

“Such a mandate would require very careful consideration as we have already witnessed the situation in Libya. When the approved mandate was later interpreted by our Western partners in their own way and in fact by their activity, it went beyond this mandate,” Gatilov said.

“We are ready to consider such an option but we should know exactly what kind of mission we are talking about. At the moment we have contradictory information, it is not clear whether it will be a mission or peacekeeping forces,” he added.
