UNSC set for 'informal meeting' to discuss draft of resolution calling for N. Korea sanctions removal The UN Security Council is reportedly due to hold an 'informal meeting' to discuss a draft resolution on easing sanctions on North Korea.
According to Reuters, the meeting comes just a day ahead of the 'year-end' deadline set by the North for the U.S. to show more flexibility in nuclear talks.
It's also the second working-level meeting since China and Russia submitted a resolution a couple of weeks ago... calling for the lifting of sanctions on marine products and for North Koreans to be allowed to work in other countries.
The resolution, however, is unlikely to pass because the veto-wielding U.S. and the EU oppose it.
