Syria crisis: UK puts forward UN proposal
August 28, 2013
The UK has put a suggested resolution to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council "authorising all necessary measures to protect civilians" in Syria.
It calls for military action against what Britain has termed Syria's "unacceptable" use of chemical weapons.
But Russia has said the UN must finish its investigation into the claims before discussing any resolution.Syria has accused the West of "inventing" excuses to launch a strike.
