The United Nations effort to broker an end to violence in Syria is faltering as President Bashar al-Assad ignores his commitment to adhere to the agreement, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today.
Assad pledged to implement Special Envoy Kofi Annan’s six-point plan to pull back forces, end the use of heavy weapons, allow peaceful demonstrations and access for humanitarian aid and journalists and begin a political transition, Clinton said at an Istanbul meeting of the so-called “Friends of Syria.”
