MOSCOW (Sputnik) – As many as 24 members of the council voted in favor, seven against and 16 abstained.
Russia has proposed several amendments for the document, all of which were rejected.
A UN commission must carry out an independent investigation of the situation in Aleppo and bring those responsible for the current crisis to justice, the resolution states.
The council requested the Commission of Inquiry "to conduct a comprehensive, independent special inquiry into the events in Aleppo," the document reads.
The inquiry will also identify those it considers responsible and to report its findings to the UN Human Rights Council.
The resolution also calls for accountability of those who violated or abused international humanitarian law, "noting the important role that the International Criminal Court can play in this regard."
The council "reiterates that the only sustainable political solution to the current crisis in Syria is through an inclusive and Syrian-led political process … that meets the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people, with a view to full implementation of the Geneva Communiqué of 30 June 2012," the document reads.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to President Assad fighting numerous opposition groups and terrorist organizations such as Daesh and al-Nusra Front.
Since the war's beginning it has claimed lives of thousands of people and displaced millions more. The international community has undertaken steps to end the Syrian conflict and to solve the humanitarian crisis in the Middle Eastern country.
Fighting in the city of Aleppo intensified after the Syrian army declared an end to the week-long ceasefire on September 19, blaming militants for numerous violations that made the cessation of hostilities unreasonable.
