Security
Council Draft Press Statement on Ceasefire in Syria
The
members of the Security Council welcomed the important and timely
initiative of the Joint Special Representative of the United Nations
and the League of Arab States, Lakhdar Brahimi, for a ceasefire and a
cessation of violence in all its forms during the period of Eid Al
Adha, and echoed the joint appeal of the Secretaries-General of the
United Nations and the League of Arab States to all regional and
international actors to support it.
The
Council members call on the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic
and on all opposition groups to respond positively to the initiative
of the Joint Special Representative as a first step towards the
sustainable cessation of hostilities and the launch of a political
process leading to a democratic change in Syria in the interests of
all its citizens.
