Where is the #rejection? Where is the explicit #condemnation of these #horrors?” he said. “No member of this council--no nation in this entire body--could or would tolerate the #slaughter of its people.” #UNSC #UnitedStates #ForeignPolicy #diplomacy #NationalSecurity #GlobalSecurity #MiddleEast #geopolitics
