The world moved a step closer to removing Syria's chemical arsenal on Thursday Sep 26,2013 after permanent members of the Security Council agreed on a draft resolution to eliminate the Assad’s weaponry
Britain, the US, Russia, France and China are now scheduled to present the wording of the resolution to the full council for approval, with the UK's ambassador to the UN, Sir Mark Lyall Grant, breaking the news on Twitter.
The move follows talks between Washington and Moscow during Tuesday’s annual gathering at the UN in New York, and despite differences over the wording as to where ultimate responsibility would sit should the regime fail to dismantle its stockpile, a meeting between foreign ministers for the P5 and secretary general Ban Ki-moon appears to have led to a workable draft.
US Ambassador Samantha Power confirmed that an agreement had been reached
