The United States and European countries had pressed the Security Council for a resolution. A resolution is stronger than the presidential statement it approved. But Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa blocked those efforts. They feared that a resolution could lead to a situation similar to the international military action in Libya.
美国和多个欧洲国家敦促安理会做出决议。决议比主席声明更具效力。但是，俄罗斯、中国、印度、巴西和南非反对。他们担心该决议会导致类似利比亚国际军事行动的局面。
