U.N.’s Five Big Powers Agree On Syrian Resolution Wording -- Washington Post
NEW YORK — The United Nations’ five big powers reached agreement Thursday on a legally binding U.N. Security Council resolution that would require Syria to dismantle its once-secret chemical weapons program or face the threat of unspecified measures, according to senior U.S. and Russian officials.
The deal reached by Britain, France, the United States, Russia and China followed several days of high-level talks in New York. Those talks culminated Thursday afternoon with a face-to-face meeting between Secretary of State John F. Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
