UN adopts Syria resolution under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, which is militarily enforceable...The three co-sponsors agreed to drop a direct threat of sanctions against Syria in order to get support from Russia and China, which opposed sanctions while the investigation is still under way. Nonetheless, the resolution was adopted under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, which is militarily enforceable.

The U.S. invited foreign ministers of the 15 Security Council nations to attend the meeting to send a strong message to Syria to cooperate with the inquiry. A dozen ministers showed up and voted in favor of the resolution.

Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice told the council after the vote that Syria had been put on notice by the international community that it must cooperate.

"Syria has offered no truthful explanations to these serious allegations," she said. "Instead it has chosen until now to dismiss the commission report as politically motivated."

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the Security Council is "putting the government of Syria on notice that our patience has limits."

"The people of the Lebanon have become all too acquainted with grief," he said. "We owe them a better future, and this resolution is one way of providing them with that better future."
