"This is interesting because 'condemnation' has figured heavily in the UN's lexicon for many, many decades. Archived news articles finds that in '56 the US wanted the UN to condemn the Soviets for doing bad things in Hungary. In '61 the Soviets, in a stroke of originality, wanted the UN to condemn the US for doing bad things in Latin America. In '74 the Brits wanted the UN to condemn the Greek Junta in Greece. In 1990 France asked the UN to condemn Iraq for acting like Iraq in the 80s. The list goes on and on of countries asking the UN to condemn other countries. It seems like the UN has been handing out condemnations like candy at the doctor's office, and I still don't know what it means. Or, more to the point: what difference does it make?"
