Edit: New Source: http://rt.com/news/un-assembly-vote-syrian-resolution-521/
Hahahaha... Bye ASSAD!! IT was nice to knowing you I will be very sad when you... No actualy it wasn't... I will not be very sad when they kick you out of that throne you so desperatly trying to protect...
''The UN General Assembly has passed the new draft resolution on Syria with 137 in favor, 12 against and 17 abstaining, Russia, China voted against it.
The resolution, proposed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, is not substantially different from the one that was recently vetoed by Russia and China in UN Security Council. It calls for President Bashar al-Assad step down, and demands the transition to democratic rule.
Russia voted against the document, as expected. Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin has said Russia sees the resolution as an attempt to isolate the Syrian leadership, reject contacts with it, and impose a new form of political regulation. Churkin called the draft “unbalanced.”
Moscow objects to Assad's forced resignation and demands a balanced approach that includes both the Syrian government and the opposition.
Thus, Russia suggested amendments seeking the disarmament of both government forces and rebels, but Arab League delegations dismissed the suggestions.
Unlike UN Security Council resolutions, UN General Assembly resolutions cannot be vetoed. Each member of the 193-member body votes for the document, with every country giving one vote.
However, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding and only serve as recommendations to the UN Security Council and as markers of international opinion.''
