The U.S. and its European allies have dropped their bid to impose United Nations sanctions on Syria in order to win the votes for a Security Council resolution that demands an end to attacks on anti-government protesters.

A draft resolution will be circulated today to the Security Council's 15 members, Indian and South African envoys said. The text doesn't include sanctions proposed last month, South Africa's Ambassador Baso Sangqu said, and has a "reasonably good chance" of being adopted, India's Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri said.
