Not true.

The US has said it will not back a consensus for her. So there is a meeting and if the US insists..it will go towards a GC meeting on Nov 9.

We are hopeful the US should back-pedal.

Japan, China & The EU have insisted they won't sanction Yoo.

For now, it is stalemate.
Talks will continue behind the scene.

The next GC meeting is Nov 09, and if there is no resolution by then, its till next year.
