Subject: RE: BS: Kofi Annan From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 03 Aug 12 - 09:48 AM He stated that the failure was mainly due to "the intransigence of the Syrian government." He also lamented that Security Council could not agree on action, which is obviously a criticism of Russia and China who vetoed action. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kofi Annan From: Jack the Sailor Date: 02 Aug 12 - 03:28 PM The math is simple. One veto vote in the UN Security Council ties the hands of the UN. Russia and China support Assad. The math is similar in the Israel / Palestine conflict though the veto vote is different. |
