This is very promising, as the five veto-wielding permanent members of the UN Security Council are France, Great Britain, USA, Russia and China. From The Washington Post:
UNITED NATIONS — The five permanent members of the divided Security Council appear to have reached agreement on a resolution to require Syria to dismantle its chemical weapons stockpiles, U.N. diplomats said Thursday.
Their comments came a day after Russia’s deputy foreign minister said negotiators had overcome a major hurdle and agreed that the resolution would include a reference to Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which allows for military and nonmilitary actions to promote peace and security.
Yesterday, Russia was balking at including a reference to Chapter 7, but they appear to have come around. I think it is probably the best way to make sure the deal has teeth.
I strongly believe this resolution is a massive victory for peace lovers everywhere, regardless of who gets the credit. Let's hope it sticks.
