UNITED NATIONS, June 15 -- Friday Inner City Press exclusively reported that General Robert Mood is coming to New York and will brief the UN Security Council about Syria, which China's Permanent Representative Li Baodong told Inner City Press after a televised stakeout question-and-answer.
Now Inner City Press can report that Mood's mission in Syria has "moved to a posture of presence in all Team Sites and in Damascus headquarters, limiting mobile activities."
See exclusive-must-credit attachment, uploaded here, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's "Note on the Operations of the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria" submitted to the Security Council "on behalf of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations," with its fourth French leader in a row, Herve Ladsous.
The Note, as obtained by Inner City Press, states:
"Note on the Operations of the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS)
"In view of the upsurge in armed conflict between the Government and the armed opposition in Syria over the past days, UNSMIS has decided to reassess its posture and activities in light of the inability to perform its mandated functions. As of 1800 local time on 15 June 2012, UNSMIS moved to a posture of presence in all Team Sites and in Damascus headquarters, limiting mobile activities and engagement to case-by-case consideration. A return to normal operations remains UNSMIS' objective, and the decision will be regularly reviewed as the situation evolves on the ground."
To some, this seems like the beginning of the end. Watch this site.
