The UN Security Council on February 20 found itself unable to reach an agreement on a Russian resolution draft that urges all parties to ensure the preservation of Syria’s territorial integrity. It would seem very straight forward to adopt a resolution that is perfectly logical from the point of view of international law.

Yet, six members of the Council rejected it, and three of those have the right to veto. Those were the United States, the Great Britain and France, and as for those non-permanent Security Council members – those are Ukraine (did anyone have a glimpse of a doubt), New Zealand and Spain.

Thus, it turns out that six states have openly opposed the preservation of the territorial integrity of another UN member state. The situation looks surreal since this step contradicts the basic principles of the UN Charter, and those six above mentioned states have basically undermined the very foundation of this international organization.
