The UN General Assembly has voted to pass an Arab backed draft resolution which strongly condemns the Syrian government and accepts the Syrian National Coalition as a legitimate party in the country’s potential political transition.
The 193-member world body voted on Wednesday to pass the Qatari-drafted resolution condemning Syrian government forces and the “gross violation” of human rights in the country. The final vote tally: 107 in favor, 12 against and 59 abstentions.
The draft resolution further welcomes the establishment of the Syrian National Coalition "as effective representative interlocutors needed for a political transition."
The document noted "the wide international acknowledgment" that the main opposition group is the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.
General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding and therefore cannot be enforced. The last Arab-sponsored General Assembly resolution regarding Syria was approved by an vote of 133-12 with 31 abstentions last August.
