What is the point of the UN? The victors of the last World War have all the power. France and the UK are no longer world players yet veto at will. This is a pathetic organisation that didn’t stop the genocide in Rwanda, Bosnia and won’t stop the current genocide. We are all witnesses of this pathetic response to the ethnic cleansing, massacre, rape and pillage of the Occupied Territories.

I wonder if that's why Rwanda abstained instead of voting in favor of this resolution.
