My Way News - UN General Assembly approves Syria resolution
My Way News reports: "The U.N. General Assembly approved an Arab-backed resolution Wednesday calling for a political transition in Syria, but more than 70 countries refused to vote 'yes' because of its support for the main opposition group and fears the resolution could torpedo a new U.S.-Russia effort to end the escalating conflict. [...] The resolution, which is not legally binding though it can carry moral weight, was approved by a vote of 107-12 with 59 abstentions."
