The Resolution 2043 of the UN Security Council is a resolution that the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously on 21 April 2012 found. She deals with the civil war in Syria .

The resolution is based on the Syrian government's commitment on March 25, 2012 to implement the six-point proposal by Kofi Annan , who, as the joint special envoy of the United Nations and the Arab League, advocated an end to the war. It stipulated that troop movements in the direction of the population centers were to be stopped, the use of all heavy weapons in these areas would cease and the withdrawal of troops concentrated in the population centers and their surroundings would begin on April 1, 2012.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had announced that on April 10th he would withdraw the soldiers from the residential areas, but many doubted this statement because he had failed to keep many promises. According to its own information, the government began withdrawing troops from the cities of Daraa , Idlib and Sabadani . UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon spoke of further attacks on civilians. The protest strongholds continued to be attacked on April 10, because Assad demanded a treaty to disarm the opposition. For the first time, refugees were killed on Turkish soil near the border by Syrian soldiers. The Syrian opposition then accused the PKK of collaborating with the Syrian government. According to information from tagesschau.de , 22,000 people from Syria had fled to Turkey by April 6. Despite the ceasefire, the city of Homs continued to be shelled , according to the opposition .

On April 21, 2012, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously in favor of increasing the number of observers from 30 to 300. The observers working for the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS) are all unarmed soldiers who are supposed to monitor the ceasefire between Assad's troops and the opposition. International observers had previously visited the city of Homs during the first ceasefire in several weeks.
