Russia's deputy U.N. ambassador, Alexander Konuzin, said the U.S.-British resolution on Iraq should specify who will be responsible for searching for alleged weapons stores and for maintaining any uncovered by U.N. monitors before the war.
"What is the situation since no WMDs have been located up to now?" Konuzin asked Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari in an open Security Council debate on Thursday.
"It is our opinion the resolution being prepared by the Security Council on Iraq must give a clear answer to the question — who will bear the responsibility for looking for traces of weapons of mass destruction," said Konuzin, whose country opposed the war.
