Sacre bleu: France says Iran will face UN sanctions
Rocky Mountain News
PARIS (AP) -- "France's foreign minister said Wednesday that Iran will face U.N. sanctions for refusing to halt its nuclear program, but major world powers remain divided over exactly how far punishment should go.
Philippe Douste-Blazy said on RTL radio that the measures would fall under a part of the U.N. Charter - Article 41 of Chapter 7 - that authorizes the Security Council to impose nonmilitary sanctions, such as severing or limiting diplomatic and economic relations, transportation and communications links.
'The question is about the scope of sanctions, but there will be sanctions,' Douste-Blazy said."
