UN eyes vote next week on Iran nuclear demand
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - France and Britain, the authors of a draft U.N. Security Council resolution ordering Iran to end its nuclear program, said after more council talks on Saturday that they hoped for a vote next week. But the two European Union powers and the United States, which supports the Franco-British draft, acknowledged they made no headway during Saturday's discussions in resolving differences over the resolution's core provisions. Many of the council's 15 members left the Saturday discussions acknowledging it would take a miracle to agree on a text before Monday's arrival in New York of foreign ministers of the council's five permanent members plus Germany.U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had invited the ministers from Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany to discuss long-term strategy for dealing with Iran at a dinner at a hotel near U.N. headquarters. Her hope had been that the council would adopt a resolution before their arrival. But the council has bogged down over provisions citing Iran as "a threat to international peace and security" and invoking Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, making the resolutions binding under international law.
