    Nothing wrong with that. It’s a good way to keep accountability and see where every country stands.

      I agree with you when you say that of accountability is important but this move doesn’t stop the Genocide.

        No, it won’t stop the genocide. Most likely nothing will. But all of these will be evidence in the future to label these countries as supporters of genocide. A stain that will never wash off.

          Of course , this is what the UN is there for. I believe we have to be vocal -literally and metaphorically- to stop this Genocide. For those who have access/work in bureaucracy they should do these actions. For the rest of us that do not, we should be on the streets etc

        It won’t stop it, but we’ll at least see who’s on which side. Having a public record is good.

        It also doesn’t further encourage it.

        Don’t let perfect stand in the way of better.

      If they didn’t veto it what would happen? Is there an article like NATO that would stipulate that the UN counties would go to war… I didn’t think there was. So I am unsure if would have any change.

        Resolutions made by the UN security council (which this would have been) can be enforced through the UN peacekeeping mission (aka the blue helmets) by stationing UN troops along the contact line to prevent hostilities from resuming. This has had mixed success in the past, there is actually a peacekeeping mission stationed right now on the Israel/Lebanon border which hasn’t prevented either side from shooting at each other after the October 7 attack.

          That’s good to know. So does that just require a majority vote? (Which if this wasn’t vetoed would have been a landslide). Or does it require some other percentage?

            UN general assembly majority vote, but security council, the permanent members all need to agree as even one nay is a veto.

              So that would mean if the U.S. eventually doesn’t veto it, Russia might as it has clearly been to their benefit.

              What a stupid world we live in.

        The UN is not a military defense organisation la NATO. It has military efforts, but they are all Pacific in the sense that they don’t take part and only help the civilian population (e.g.: running medical and food supplies, or protecting hospitals, etc.)

        The UN could go for economic and political sanctions, or try to move this in the Hague Courts in case the request goes unheard.
