The United Nations Human Rights Council agreed to hold an emergency session Friday on the crisis in Syria's besieged militant enclave of Eastern Ghouta, following a British request.

UN Human Rights Council to Hold Urgent Session on Syria’s Eastern Ghouta

The "urgent debate" on a resolution proposed by Britain is scheduled to open at 3pm, a spokesman for the Geneva-based council, Rolando Gomez, said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the British draft reiterates calls for immediate humanitarian access to Eastern Ghouta.

The draft resolution also calls on war crimes investigators from the UN-backed Commission of Inquiry for Syria to conduct an investigation into alleged atrocities in the area.

The British draft also calls for the full and immediate implementation of Security Council resolution passed last weekend which foresees a 30-day ceasefire across Syria that has so far not been put into effect.
