EU allies seek UN action on Syria
Britain and France are stepping up pressure for a UN Security Council vote condemning the Syrian government's suppression of months of unrest.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said it was "inconceivable that the UN remains silent" in the face of worsening violence.
Britain plans to present a draft resolution later on Wednesday. But unlike the case of Libya, the draft does not suggest military action against Damascus or sanctions, BBC reported.
