United Nations Security Council Resolution 2401 was unanimously adopted on 24 February 2018. It calls for a nationwide ceasefire in Syria for 30 days. According to the resolution, the cease-fire does not apply to military operations against the Islamic State , al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra Front and their associates, and other terrorist groups as designated by the Security Council. ^[1]^[2]^[3]

While People's Protection Units accepted the resolution 2401 and said that it would act, ^[4] according to the Sana news agency , the Turkish Army continues to fight in Afrin , and has continued its attacks after the passage of the resolution. ^[5]

French President , Emmanuel Macron , telephoned the Turkish President , Recep Tayyip Erdogan , telling him that the truce in Syria also applies in the Afrin Region . ^[6] "I think the resolution was clear here in naming exactly which groups are considered to be exempt from the ceasefire," State Department Spokesperson Nauert said. ^[7] Turkish Deputy Prime Minister, Bekir Bozdag , has accused the United States of using double standards . ^[8]
