At least 32 people were killed in Syria on Tuesday in the latest violence during the uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The deaths come one day after the United Nations estimated the toll since March has surpassed 5,000. At the United Nations, deputy U.S. Ambassador Rosemary DiCarlo criticized the U.N. Security Council for failing to take action against the Assad regime.

Rosemary DiCarlo: “My colleagues here are in touch with the Arab League. We are very much looking forward to the results of the meetings that are going to happen in a few days, and we will be solidly behind them in support of many of the things that they and we have called for, in particular an end, immediate end, to all the violence, a deployment of international human rights monitors, including the commission of inquiry, and freedom of movement for journalists, as well.”
