The situation in Syria has become unspeakably awful as violence and bloodsheds continue unabated. It has been almost a week that the Homs city has come under severe firings by security forces to get it back from army defectors and other rebellions. There are reports of high civilians' casualty stuck in the crossfire yet no comprehensive agreement seems to be made in near future among global players. They have their own consideration and interests, perhaps least concerned about high civilians killed on the account of holding demonstration for economic and political reforms and changes.

Last month, the draft prepared by western countries in alliance with Arab League was vetoed in the United Nations Security Council by China and Russia, according to which President Bahar-al-Assad was demanded to halt violence. It was largely because Moscow and Beijing are worried about the consequence of such type of resolution. They fear that if President Assad does not yield, then a foreign military intervention would be justified on the basis of such resolution. But it should be noticed that there are no strong willing for military intervention.

The division in the UNSC is a deadlock as international community has no idea how to deal with the Syrian issue now. But, there are efforts to break it.

The UN has stretched hand towards Arab League as both are discussing about resumption of a joint monitoring mission. In December, last year, Arab League, as part of bilateral agreement, sent a monitoring group to Syria to observe the situation and report whether the regime had put in practice its commitments and promises or not.

After the expiry of the mandate, the League members asked President Assad to step down and hand over power to one of his deputy and build a national coalition government, which was strongly rejected by the regime on the basis of direct foreign interference into its domestic affairs. As a result, the League suspended the monitoring mission.

Now, there are talks about UN-Arab sending monitoring team to Syria in order to pressurize Mr. Assad to stop violence and crackdown.

Moreover, Ankara has asked for unilateral action by Damascus opposition countries. It is not detailed what Ankara indeed means by unilateral action. But there is one thing for certain: the approval of a tough resolution by the UNSC is hardly possible.

So, the above suggestions are made to break the deadlock and ratchet up pressure against Damascus regime to stop violence.
