U.N. to monitor cease-fire in Syria: reports from MarketWatch.com - MarketPulse SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The U.N Security Council on Saturday voted unanimously to approve a resolution to send international observers to Syria to monitor a cease-fire between the Syrian government and opposition forces, according to media reports. The resolution calls for an immediate halt to the violence and for Syria to allow an advance team of up to 30 observers into the country, the reports said. The development marked the first time the U.N. Security Council agreed on a resolution since anti-government protests erupted in March 2011. The U.N. believe at least 9,000 people have been killed in the ensuing government crackdown, CNN said.
