BBC – Activists and the Arab League urged the UN to take stronger action after a surge in violence this week in which dozens of people have died.
The UK, France and Germany drafted a resolution with Arab states, supporting the League’s call for President Bashar al-Assad to hand power to a deputy.
Russia, an ally of Mr Assad, has said it will not back the text.
