Security Council debates Syria as Guterres heads to Damascus

The Security Council is holding its monthly debate on Syria amid reports of an Israeli attack in occupied territory and discussions of a multi-national oil pipeline to counter the closure of the critical Strait of Hormuz , still the focus of the ongoing US-Iran war. The meeting follows UN independent investigators' findings that security conditions remain fragile in the south as the UN chief heads to Damascus for his first visit to the country as Secretary-General.

UN investigators have urged Syria's Government to trace thousands of missing detainees and hold perpetrators to account after a week-long visit that took in bomb attacks in Damascus, prison visits in the northeast and reports of vigilante violence in Homs. The 15-member Security Council unanimously adopted a draft resolution on Thursday renewing the mandate of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) for six months.
