    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]
