Syria has “categorically rejected” an Arab League resolution calling for a joint Arab-UN peacekeeping mission to end the country’s 11-month conflict.
Yusuf Ahmed, Syria’s envoy in Cairo, said the plan “reflected the hysteria of these governments”.
The EU on Monday backed the Arab League’s “bold” plan but Russia said violence must end before any peacekeepers could be sent.
The UN General Assembly is set for a key debate on the crisis in Syria.
UN human rights chief Navi Pillay, who has been sharply critical of the actions of President Bashar al-Assad’s government, is expected to address the assembly.
The Arab League said it was ending all diplomatic co-operation with Syria, and promised to give “political and material support” to the opposition.
