U.N. Security Council unanimously approves Syria aid access resolution  Saturday, Feb 22, 2014 11:35 AM PST By Michelle Nichols UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council achieved rare unity to act on Syria's civil war on Saturday when Russia and China supported adoption of a resolution to boost aid access in Syria that threatens to take "further steps" in the case of non-compliance.

They had previously vetoed three resolutions that would have condemned Syria's government and threatened it with possible sanctions. Lithuanian U.N. Ambassador Raimonda Murmokaite, president of the 15-member council for February, described the unanimous approval of the resolution, drafted by Australia, Jordan and Luxembourg, as a "moment of hope" for Syria's people.

"It's a ludicrous plan," said David Karopkin, founder and director of GooseWatch NYC, a wildlife advocacy group that said the state's concerns are overblown. Most of the state's 2,200 mute swans - both wild and in captivity - are found in highly populated areas, in and around New York City and its northern suburbs in the Hudson Valley. Full Story	Top
