On
Israel Attack
in Syria, Arab
Group Writes
to UNSC, GA
Vote May 15
UNITED
NATIONS, May 8
-- Now at the
UN the Arab
Group has
written to the
UN
Security
Council,
telling it to
"shoulder its
responsibilities"
with
regard to
Israel's
attacks on
Syria and
violations of
Lebanon's
air space.
The
Arab Group
letter, which
Inner City
Press has
obtained and
is putting
online here,
comes from
May's chair of
the Group,
Libya's
Ibrahim
Dabbashi.
Dabbashi
was
in the
Security
Council on
Wednesday, as
Libya and the
International
Criminal Court
were on the
agenda. One
wanted to ask
him about the
new political
isolation law,
on which the
UN has had
nothing at all
to say.
Inner
City Press
noted that
Iran for the
Non Aligned
Movement had
issued
and e-mailed
out a
statement on
Israel's
attacks on
Syria on
Tuesday
evening;
that's just a
statement,
ours is a
letter to the
Security
Council, it's
more serious,
came the
response.
Last
night Inner
City Press put online
the final, for
circulation
version
of Qatar's
draft
resolution on
Syria, here.
Now Inner City
Press has
been told the
plan is to put
it to the vote
on May 15, but
that other
others African
and Latin
countries,
even as
modified, have
issues.
