China requests Security Council meeting

UNITED NATIONS, May 7 (UPI) - China's deputy ambassador to the United
Nations, Shen Guofang, is asking for an emergency meeting of the U.N.
Security Council following NATO's apparent bombing of China's Belgrade
embassy.
Shen told United Press International it will probably get under way
around 11:30 p.m. EDT.
"We are greatly shocked by reports of NATO's bombing of China's
embassy to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the large casualties
as a result of the bombing," he said in a statement.
"We strongly condemn NATO's act and we express our indignation" he
added.
"NATO's barbaric act is a gross violation of the U.N. Charter,
international law and the norms governing international relations.
"It is also a violation of the Geneva Convention and NATO should be
responsible for all the consequences," he continued. "We call on NATO
to stop immediately its military action so as to avoid further
humanitarian disasters."
