UN security council holds minute's silence for former US president Carter

The UN security council held a minute's silence on Monday in honour of the former US president Jimmy Carter.
Before rising to observe the silence, the deputy US ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Camille Shea, read a statement on behalf of the council.
The US will observe a national day of mourning for Carter on Thursday 9 January, the White House said in a statement. Carter lived longer than any US president and, after leaving the White House, earned a reputation as a committed humanitarian

The amount of hypocrisy in that room is off the charts

What is the purpose of the United Nations Security Council? While commemorating former American President Jimmy Carter, who said "peace is important", can it say anything to America, which vetoed the ceasefire proposal for Gaza, let alone preventing the ongoing disgusting wars? What kind of world do we live in?

That’s a sinister set up and to think the real world existential threats these pose, well doesn’t bear thinking about.

Wow. The same as they did for the butcher of Tehran.
