Air forces have carried out a fresh missile bombardment on rebel-held sections of Aleppo for the first time in three weeks, activists in the besieged city have said.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrikes struck three neighbourhoods.
There were no immediate details on casualties.
The UN committee has "deplored and condemned" the recent attacks in Aleppo, and the continued violence by the Syrian government against its own people.
The General Assembly's human rights committee voted 116-15, with 49 abstentions, to demand that Syrian authorities "immediately end attacks."
A draft resolution has demanded the regime: "immediately puts an end to all indiscriminate attacks, including those involving the use of terror tactics, air strikes, barrel and vacuum bombs, incendiary weapons, chemical weapons and heavy artillery."
The draft calls for a ceasefire by all parties, saying this "is essential to achieve a political solution".
