The text, co-sponsored by Algeria, Denmark, Greece, Guyana, Pakistan, Panama, the Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Somalia – collectively known as the E-10 – received 14 votes in favour, with the US casting the lone vote against.

As one of the council’s five permanent members, the US holds veto power – a negative vote that automatically blocks any resolution from going forward.

Had it been adopted, the draft would have demanded “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza” to be respected by all parties.

    Three of the five permanent members are bloody fascist regimes. The fourth isn’t far behind, and the fifth is far from clean. (Look at the mess that Haiti has been left in).

    At this point, I really don’t see any other course forward but to start over.

      If you remember that the UN was founded in response to fascist-made war, this is rather discouraging.

      Israel and the usa voted no for condemning russian agression on ukraine it didn’t stop europe and canada for doing their best to help ukraine

      Those resolutions are useless. Europe and canada refuse to do their job against the genocide despite the usa losing day by day influence
