Syria
has deeply fractured the UN Security Council. Today´s accusations of war crimes
thrown at Russia are a very serious development. They will not be forgotten easily.
The divisions will continue for a long time. That will have an impact on the
work of the Council, including the selection of the new Secretary-General. It
will be more difficult to reach an agreement, maybe for a very unreasonable
motive: just for the sake of opposing the other side.
A
divided Council is not good for the image of the UN. The organisation will be a
key casualty. But more importantly, there will be no diplomatic solution to the
crisis in Syria.
