Iran Press/ Europe: "For the first time, the document was not adopted unanimously as Russia and China abstained from voting on the proposal prepared by France, the informal overseer of the dossier," the ministry said in a statement. "This decision was dictated by the fact that the final document failed to reflect a compromise that would have taken into account the position and opinion of Lebanon as a country hosting the UN peacekeeping force on its territory."
"In general, the general tendency for representatives of the Western troika (the US, France, and the UK) in the UNSC (United Nations Security Council) to abuse their powers as informal overseers of the dossier in order to promote their political views, including in the field of peacekeeping, is a cause for concern," the statement said.
