LONDON
British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Wednesday that Britain has drafted a resolution condemning the chemical weapons attack in eastern Damascus by the Syrian regime and authorising “necessary measures to protect civilians”.
Cameron commented on his official Twitter account on the United Nations resolution on Syria that, "We have always said we want the UN Security Council to live up to its responsibilities on Syria. Today they have an opportunity to do that."
"The resolution will be put forward at a meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council later today in New York," he added.
Cameron will lead a meeting of the British National Security Council on Wednesday and the British parliament is due to debate the military intervention in Syria on Thursday.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague also said: “We must proceed in a careful and thoughtful way, but we cannot permit our own security to be undermined by the creeping normalisation of the use of weapons that the world has spent decades trying to control and eradicate.”
