Syrian draft resolution to be vetoed by the USA

The BBC correspondent in New York said it is certain that the Syrian draft resolution to condemn the American- British war against Iraq and to halt it immediately will be vetoed by the US and UK if the resolution comes up for a vote.

He added in case the US and Britain will use the veto, the role of the UN Security Council will be limited to adopt a just and balanced resolution that organizes the process of implementing the oil-for-food program without legitimizing the American- British military presence in Iraq.

The correspondent indicated that the Iraqi problem might be taken from the UN Security Council to the UN General Assembly where there is no veto power.
