UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council began debating a U.S. draft statement Tuesday seeking to condemn Myanmar for continuing its house arrest of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Any action was delayed for at least a day because of skepticism from China, Russia, Vietnam and Libya.
France called the emergency session, held behind closed doors for less than an hour. “There has to be an urgent reaction by the council,” said Deputy French Ambassador Jean-Pierre Lacroix.
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said the United States sought a unanimous statement by the 15-nation council.
