Discussions in Geneva between U S Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov continued through the night on Friday and extended into Saturday. The discussions centered around Moscow's proposal to have Syrian president Bashar al- Assad's Government hand over it's chemical weapons stockpile.
Meanwhile, the United Nations and especially, it's Security Council including permanent members- the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain could play a key role in the international community's response to Syria. A report by it's inspectors looking into an August 21 chemical weapons attack outside Damascus could be pivotal in guiding where countries come down on the issue.
U N Secretary General is expected to present the report to the Security Council at 11 am on Monday .
