France: UN failure to agree position on Syria a 'scandal'

France has described as a "scandal" the failure of the United Nations so far to agree on a resolution against the violent crackdowns on dissidents in Syria.

 

"I think it's a scandal not to have a clear position of the UN in such a terrible crisis," French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told reporters on Sunday on a visit to Australia. He made the comment when asked about Russian resistance to a draft resolution late last month that called for sanctions against Syrian President Bashar Assad. (Reuters)
