    by Maria Myles

    New York, Dec 7 (CNA) -- A draft resolution on Cyprus, consisting of eight paragraphs and expected to be adopted by the UN Security Council, includes the bare minimum of provisions necessary for the renewal of the UN peace-keeping force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) mandate and the renewal and support of the UN Secretary-General's good offices mission on Cyprus.

    The initiative behind the moves to adopt the draft resolution belongs to Britain and in particular to British envoy for Cyprus Sir David Hannay whose country is the current chairman of the Security Council for the month of December.
