A European and US draft resolution will call for UN Security Council sanctions against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and several other top officials, council diplomats told Reuters on Monday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, diplomats said the resolution's drafters -- the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Portugal -- included several Syrian firms that they hoped to blacklist and urged referring Syria's clampdown on protests to the permanent war-crimes tribunal in The Hague.
