US ONLY COUNTRY TO VOTE NO ON KILLING CIVILIANS
Last December, the UN Human Rights Commissioner, Navi Pillay, reported having “massive evidence” that President Bashar al-Assad and the Government of Syria were responsible for “very serious crimes, war crimes, crimes against humanity” in connection with the killing of civilians. By July 2014, four resolutions accusing the Syrian government of these war crimes and imposing punitive sanctions for killing civilians have failed in the UN Security Council. Russia and China vetoed all four resolutions. {} {} http://www.responsibilitytoprotect.org/ … -syria#III Section VI, c)
It appears that the U.S. is NOT the only country to vote “no” on a resolution condemning the killing of civilians.
