The United Nations Security Council is joining the condemnation of recent events in Fiji, releasing a strongly worded criticism of the military backed regime after being briefed on the situation since the constitution was scrapped on Good Friday. It's re-considering its involvement in the country's political dialogue after the exclusion of the country's four biggest parties from the last meeting, but is showing no signs of ending its use of Fijian soldiers in peacekeeping activities, as suggested by some groups calling for tougher measures.
