United Nations: Envoys from Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States - the permanent veto-wielding members of the UN Security Council - will meet on Wednesday to discuss the situation in Syria, diplomats said.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the failure to halt atrocities in Syria had become a new stain on the reputation of the world body and the Security Council powers.
France, Britain and the United States pressed for a resolution that would impose tough consequences should Damascus fail to hand over control of its banned chemical weapons.
A Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday was cancelled at the last minute after Russia's request.
