\u00a0Nigeria, backed by France, is set to table a draft UN resolution, which would authorise possible use of military force to stop attack against civilians in Cote d\u2019 Ivoire.<\/p>\n

The draft resolution will urge stronger enforcement of an arms embargo on the government of Laurent Gbagbo, in addition to use of \u201call necessary measures and sanctions\u2019\u2019 to stop his forces from attacking civilians.<\/p>\n

It will also urge the Security Council to facilitate the immediate transfer of power to Alassane Ouattara, the UN certified and internationally recognised winner of last November\u2019s election in the West African country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nigeria diplomats, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York, Thursday, said\u00a0 the draft resolution would be tabled on Friday or latest Monday.<\/p>\n

The move came on the heels of Thursday\u2019s statement by ECOWAS leaders in Abuja for the Council to take immediate steps to force the out-going president Gbagbo to cede office Ouattara.<\/p>\n

ECOWAS leaders, led by President Goodluck Jonathan, had described the situation in Cote d Ivoire as a \u201cregional humanitarian emergency\u2019\u2019 caused by Gbagbo\u2019s refusal to yield power.<\/p>\n

Security Council diplomats, however, told NAN there were likely to be dissents on a military option on Cote d Ivoire.<\/p>\n

The UN is still divided on the enforcement of last week\u2019s resolution that authorised air strikes\u00a0 on Libyan targets as a deterrent to Mummar Gaddafi\u2019s use of force against civilians.<\/p>\n

The two-veto wielding members of the Council, China and Russia, are known to be opposed to any form of meddling into internal affairs of countries and their position is unlikely to shift on Cote d Ivoire.<\/p>\n

Brazil, Germany and India, who abstained from the Security Council vote on a no-fly zone authorising use of \u201call necessary measures\u2019\u2019 to protect civilians in Libya, may not also be very keen to support a military option on Cote d Ivoire.<\/p>\n
