Germany, France and the UK have tabled a UN resolution, supported by a number of countries, including Bulgaria, calling for an end to human rights violations in Syria.

The resolution, which also calls for the implementation of an Arab League plan to end the violence, was also backed by four Arab countries.

With the UN Security Council divided on Syria, the resolution has been tabled in a committee of the General Assembly.

Germany, France and the UK circulated the draft resolution to the General Assembly's human rights committee and Western diplomats said they hope it will be put to a vote next Tuesday.

If approved, it is virtually certain to be adopted by the 193-member General Assembly.

On Wednesday the Arab League - which has suspended Syria - gave Damascus three days to end "bloody repression" and allow in teams of international monitors.

It has threatened Syria with sanctions if it does not co-operate.
