Paris: The French foreign minister says France will float a resolution in the U.N. Security Council aimed at forcing Syria to make public its chemical weapons program, place it under international control and dismantle it.
Laurent Fabius says France, a permanent member of the 15-nation U.N. body, will start the resolution process on Tuesday.
Fabius said the proposal will be under Chapter 7 of the U.N. charter — which would back up the resolution with a threat of force if not applied — and will “condemn” a chemical weapons attack in Syria on Aug. 21.
