联合国人权理事会谴责它所说的叙利亚政府“广泛和有系统的侵犯人权行为”，并重申“迫切需要”解决叙利亚的人道局势。联合国人权理事会星期四在日内 瓦举行的一次会议上通过了一项决议，呼吁叙利亚总统阿萨德的政府立即停止所有“侵犯人权的行为”以及对平民的攻击。该理事会突出强调了最近的叙利亚人和外 国记者死亡事件以及叙利亚当局对人们获得医疗照顾进行的干扰。
俄罗斯、中国和古巴对这项决议案投了反对票。美国驻联合国人权理事会代表多 纳霍说，在叙利亚的人道危机上存在“压倒性的共识”。她并表示，“这次投票结果本身就说明了问题”。俄罗斯和中国已经两次否决了联合国安理会谴责叙利亚政 府血腥镇压持续将近一年的反对派抵抗运动的决议案。
The United Nations Human Rights Council has condemned what it calls "widespread and systematic violations of human rights" by the Syrian government, and reiterated the "urgent" need to address the humanitarian situation in the country. At a session Thursday in Geneva, the council adopted a resolution calling on President Bashar al-Assad's government to immediately halt "all human rights violations" and attacks against civilians. It highlighted the recent deaths of Syrian and foreign journalists, as well as interference in people getting access to medical care.
Russia, China and Cuba voted against the measure. The U.S. envoy to the council, Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, said there is an "overwhelming international consensus" on the humanitarian crisis in Syria, and that "the vote speaks for itself." Russia and China have twice vetoed U.N. Security Council resolutions condemning the Syrian government for its deadly crackdown on a nearly year-long opposition uprising.
