"I am encouraged by reports that the situation in Syria is relatively calm and that the cessation of hostilities appears to be holding," UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan said in a statement. The government of President Bashar al-Assad and the rebels are accusing each other of trying to wreck the ceasefire. Annan said, "All parties have obligations to implement fully the six-point plan." "What has happened today does not constitute full compliance by the Syrian government," Annan was quoted as saying. "Syrian troops and armour must return to their barracks immediately," he said.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon announced that observers would be sent to Syria, beginning with the dispatch of a UN peacekeeping general Friday. An advanced team of 20-30 observers could be sent early next week, while the full mission would comprise 200 monitors, according to diplomats. According to Reuters, four protesters were shot dead Friday and an army officer was killed in Syria. The shootings occurred as demonstrators rallied against President Assad across the country after Friday's prayers.
The government has ended shelling of cities as required by the agreement, but it has not pulled back security forces from cities, or followed other parts of the six-point plan, according to Reuters. Meanwhile, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Friday that he did not believe Assad's declaration of a cease-fire was sincere, and urged the deployment of international observers. "I do not believe Bashar al-Assad is sincere," Sarkozy told a TV channel. "Sadly I do not believe this cease-fire."

Full council members unanimously decided on Saturday to send the mission in an effort to have a fragile truce observed. The group has been told to monitor actions between government forces and armed opposition fighters. It is the first time since the Syrian crisis began over a year ago that the council has adopted a resolution on the situation.
Resolution 2042, which underwent some last-minute negotiations, won the full 15-nation council's approval following reports of government shelling in the beleaguered city of Homs. UN officials said the resolution was clear about commitments from both the Syrian government and the opposition.
The Syrian government has been informed that the monitoring mission must be able to operate effectively with full freedom of movement and access to individuals. It is expected the government will cease the movement of troops from populated areas and stop heavy weapons firing.

Assad not honoring the truce...
Shooting continues in Syria as UN pushes forward peace plan
Saturday 14th April, 2012 - Western nations Friday began drawing up plans to send UN monitors to conflict-torn Syria even as three protesters were shot in anti-government demonstrations, a day after a UN-backed cease-fire went into effect.
