UN votes to extend mission in Darfur

UNITED NATIONS (CNN)- The United Nations Security Council Thursday passed a resolution to extend its peacekeeping mission in Darfur despite U.S. complaints about the resolution.

The resolution passed overwhelmingly, with all countries in the council voting for it, except the United States. A U.S. representative did not cast a vote, citing concerns about the wording of the resolution.

The one-year peacekeeping mandate was set to expire until Thursday's vote extended it.
