Shami Calls on Salam Not to Approve Security Council Statement on Syria
Caretaker Foreign Minister Ali Shami called on Lebanon’s ambassador to the United Nations Nawwaf Salam to reject the Security Council’s expected draft statement on the developments on Syria.
The U.N. will discuss Syria later Tuesday.
Diplomats said Monday that Britain, France, Germany, and Portugal are seeking a Security Council condemnation of the killing of hundreds of demonstrators in Syria and a call for an independent investigation.
The United States is supporting the statement of condemnation, a diplomat said.
