Well, no. Because someone has vetoed almost every single resolution
critical of Israel for decades - the US.

Sort of like France with the US over Iraq, right?
If it weren't for US vetos, the UN would probably have voted a resolution
calling for the "disbandment" of the Israeli state!


Like you wanted them to do for Iraq?

Pot. Kettle. You do the introductions.


Not at all.

The UN is tool useful to everyone at varying times, and a PITA at others.

Too many people ascribe high democratic ideals to UN resolutions. The UN
is not democratic, and its resolutions carry no weight of rule of law.

They should be seen as nothing more than they really are.
