There were 107 votes in favor, 12 against and 59
abstentions - a drop in support compared with a resolution condemning
the Syrian government that passed in August with 133 votes in favor, 12
against and 31 abstentions.
U.N. diplomats cited concerns that Syria
could be headed for "regime change" engineered by foreign governments
and fears about a strengthening Islamist extremist element among the
rebels as reasons for the decline in support for the resolution.
