THE UN Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution extending the 300-strong UN observer force in Syria for a final 30 days while leaving open the possibility of an extension.
Russia said it would veto the original British draft but joined the 14 other council members yesterday in supporting a revised British text.
It would end the observer mission in 30 days but renew it if Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council confirm the use of heavy weapons has ended and violence in Syria is reduced.
