President Barrack Obama & President Putin,spoke on the wretched situation in Syria..They wanted broader c0-operation to combat ISIS. They wanted this to include Iranians, Russians & forces loyal to Bhashar al assad. Russia is pouring Heavy Military eqpt in Syria to counter the ISIS threat. The Syrian forces have created havoc more than the ISIS.US is training and arming the moderate Rebels..Us has cast veto more number of times to protect Israel.We all have seen the disastrous consequences in Libiya. The idea was to protect the civilians.The veto power has always hindered the effectiveness of UNSC.It was necessary 70 years back due to geo politics of that era.To day the situation has changed, Britain & France, no more deserve that veto,as India & Germany have grown in status.The non representation of Africa & Latin America at the top table is a travesty.The security council is required to be made more representative.
Looking back over 70 years one can say,UN has served a useful purpose,in some cases ,outstanding job. Of course in many spheres it has failed,bcoz it is dependent on donations from member states.Its top heavy administration consumes most of the money. India contributes more than Britain & France. India is liberally sending its forces to trouble spots for peace keeping. As someone rightly remarked that UN was created not to lead mankind to heaven but to save humanity from Hell. The korean & Vietnam wars were really hellish. The score card in Rawanda,Srebrenica,iraq & Syria is is totally blank/dismal..
