The draft endorses the planned cessation of hostilities in Syria, setting the starting time for the ceasefire, as planned, at midnight Damascus time on Saturday, February 27. It also calls on all parties that have agreed to the ceasefire to fulfill their commitments. Mr. Rafael Ramirez said the UN is working hard to approve the resolution before the ceasefire takes effect.
