UN, 29 October 2014 – United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today deplored the planned holding by armed rebel groups in eastern Ukraine of their own “elections” on 2 November, calling the potential polls a “breach of the constitution and national law.”
“These ‘elections’ will seriously undermine the Minsk Protocol and Memorandum, which need to be urgently implemented in full,” Mr. Ban said in a statement issued by his spokesperson in New York.

Syrian rebel forces fighting the government of President Bashar Assad
overran a military intelligence base on the Golan Heights that served as
a joint Russian-Syrian forward post for information-gathering on
Israel.
In a four-minute video clip which was posted on the Internet by the rebels, Free Syrian Army fighters are seen in a building in Quneitra, just near the boundary between Syria and the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.

Secret UK plan to "train 100,000 Syria rebels" exposed. (at bases in Turkey and Jordan)
A plan to train and equip a 100,000-strong rebel army to defeat
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was drawn up by Britain, then scrapped
as it was deemed too risky, BBC Newsnight reported on Thursday.
The alleged proposal, put forward two years ago, was the idea of General David Richards, then chief of Britain's defense, according to the BBC.
The secret "extract, equip, train" proposal was considered by Prime Minister David Cameron and the National Security Council, as well as U.S. officials, the BBC said, citing Whitehall sources.

Kerry urges Assad's allies to end Syria war
BEIRUT: US Secretary of State John Kerry dismissed Syria's election as a "great big zero" on Wednesday, urging President Bashar al-Assad's allies Iran, Russia and Hezbollah to end the country's three-year war.
His remarks during a surprise trip to Beirut came ahead of the publication of official results from the election, dubbed a "disgrace" by Washington.
Kerry also announced US$290 million in humanitarian aid for Syria and neighbouring countries hosting refugees, key among them Lebanon.

Mass 'executions' in Syria could be war crime: UN
GENEVA: Extremist Islamic groups in Syria are committing a "soaring" number of killings in the country's north that could amount to war crimes, the UN human rights office said on Thursday.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says that over the past two weeks her office has received reports of "a succession of mass executions of civilians and fighters who were no longer participating in hostilities in Aleppo, Idlib and Raqqa by hardline armed opposition groups in Syria, in particular by the" al-Qaida linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
She warned that such killings violate international humanitarian law, and the numbers of such violations are thought to be alarmingly high.

Turkish patrol seizes over a ton of chemicals from smugglers at Syria border.
Turkish border guards seized three vehicles loaded with over 1,000 kg
of chemicals as they tried to illegally cross the border into Syria.
One of the smugglers was arrested, while others managed to escape.
The Turkish General Staff reported that the chemicals were seized after a convoy of three vehicles refused to stop and attempted to illegally cross the border near the southeastern Turkish town of Reyhanli on Saturday.
Paramilitary police were ordered to shoot out the tires of the vehicles to stop them. As the tires caught on fire, the three drivers jumped out and fled in the direction of Syria. One of them was arrested.
The vehicles contained 20 bags of sulphur, weighing about 50 kg each, and eight sealed barrels. Their contents were not immediately known.

United Nations: Most Syrians killed in unlawful conventional attacks, UN human rights panel says
16 September 2013 – The vast majority of Syrians are killed in unlawful attacks using conventional weapons such as guns and mortars, with children making up a large proportion of the casualties, the United Nations-appointed human rights probe today reported, calling for a halt to weapons being supplied to Government and the rebels.
“Arms transfers should not occur where there is a real risk that they will be used in the commission of crimes against humanity, violations of international humanitarian law, or war crimes. In Syria, this is a tragic reality,” Paulo Pinheiro, the chairman of the International Commission of Inquiry on Syria said as he introduced the report to the Human Rights Council.

Dramatic report: Inside the battle for Syria's ancient Christian village (VIDEO RT).
-
Anti-Assad rebels have been forced out of many parts of Syria’s
ancient Christian village of Maaloula, but the fighting there remains
heavy, RT correspondent Maria Finoshina reports from the scene.After arriving in the center of the village Wednesday, Maria Finoshina and the RT camera crew saw signs of a recent battle and heard shelling, but received a warm welcome from smiling and relieved Syrian Army soldiers, who said the village was freed from jihadists. The claim would later in the day turn out to be premature.

Carla del Ponte: Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack Carried Out by Rebels. -May 2013 (VIDEO YT 27/8/13)
As the Syrian revolt continues to tear the country apart, the
international community has been eager to condemn Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad, even as it became clear that the rebels do not, in
fact, represent a popular uprising against the oppression of the Assad
regime. According to UN diplomat Carla del Ponte, however, it appears
that the recent chemical weapons attack was carried out by the Syrian
rebels and not the regime, as it had been widely assumed. Speaking to a
Swiss television channel, del Ponte said that there were “strong,
concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof,” that rebels had
carried out the attack. She also said UN investigators had seen no
evidence of the Syrian army using chemical weapons, but that further
investigation was needed (May 2013***).
