With a majority of 27 votes, the resolution condemns so 'clear' the use of deadly violence against peaceful demonstrators by the Syrian authorities and requested an immediate halt to the attacks.
Syria also calls on government to protect its citizens, allow freedom of expression and free assembly, also urged President Bashar al-Assad to restore internet communications and telecommunications, and allow the entry of the foreign press. The resolution recalled to Damascus that the right to life and protection against torture 'can not be suspended under any circumstances, even in exceptional circumstances', as noted in Article 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The document received the support of countries like USA, France, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Japan and Latin America such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico and Uruguay. However, in the voting process noticed that Arab nations like Jordan, Bahrain and Qatar abstained, while Saudi Arabia voted against, as well as nine other countries, like China, Russia, Pakistan, Cuba, Ecuador, Malaysia and Mauritania.
Cuban Ambassador Rodolfo Reyes after an eloquent speech in which he stated that his country "supports the real information and real like WikiLeaks', estimated that the resolution is a tool of U.S. military objectives and decadent democracies of Europe. Reyes was surprised by the 'Western rhetoric hypocritical.

At the end of the session, the Permanent Representative of Mexico to international organizations, Juan José Gómez Camacho, expressed satisfaction and said that the most important thing is that it "sent a clear message to the Syrian government should listen."
