TEHRAN, Jul 4 - The president of the U.N. Security Council says it will issue a statement condemning the attack on a migrant detention camp near Libya's capital of Tripoli, but there is no agreement yet on the text.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Council diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because discussions were private, said the United States was waiting for instructions from Washington.
Peruvian Ambassador Gustavo Meza-Cuadra is this month's council president and said the Security Council will condemn Wednesday's attack that killed at least 44 people. He added that "we will have a press statement, but we are still discussing it."
Peru called the emergency meeting after requests from Libya's U.N.-supported government and Britain.
Meza-Cuadra said several council members echoed Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' call for an independent investigation and for the perpetrators to be held accountable.
