The UN told on Thursday propositions to arrange secure safe districts in Syria to help end the 17-month fight raised “serious questions” and would need to be analysed cautiously.
Ahead of a meeting on the humanitarian situation in Syria, France and Britain warned Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad that military action to secure buffer zones for civilians inside the country was an choice.
“Such propositions arouse serious questions and call for careful and critical consideration,” Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson told at the start of the ministerial meeting.
