The full council backed the text, which had first been worked out among the body's five veto-wielding permanent members on Wednesday.

The statement comes on the eve of a meeting on the issue in Berlin on Thursday that will bring together foreign ministers of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
