UN draft text demands Russia withdrawal from Georgia

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N19310858.htm

A Western draft of a U.N. Security Council resolution on Georgia demands compliance with the cease-fire and an immediate Russian withdrawal to lines held before the conflict, according to a text obtained by Reuters on Tuesday.

The draft, due to be considered by the council later on Tuesday, also calls for the return of Georgian forces to their usual bases and refers to "the territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders." (Reporting by Patrick Worsnip, Editing by Sandra Maler)

1. I guess defining Georgia is the problem - is S. Ossetia part of Georgia?

Or is it an independent state now? How about that northern enclave A---- or something?
