The UN Chief Peacekeeper said there was no “plan B” to solve the Syrian crisis, urging parties to implement the plan brokered by UN special envoy to Syria Kofi Annan.

“Everything should be done to reduce and put an end to the violence and that includes, of course, the use of heavy weapons by official forces,” Herve Ladsous told reporters on Thursday.
"At the same time, everything should contribute to the political process. And there is one political process for the time being, that is the six-point plan of the Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan.

"And as you know, and has been said time and again, there is no plan B. There is no alternative to that," he added.
"Syrians killing Syrians is something that should not continue," stressed Ladsous.

Ladsous also said that the United Nations would remain engaged in Syria, although on July 20 the Security Council voted to extend the mandate of an observer mission for a "final" 30 days.
"Contrary to what some of you have been thinking and writing, the U.N. is in no way packing and going home," Ladsous told reporters.

"We will try our best to contribute to find a solution," he said.
