Not a bit of it. The UN security council has done virtually nothing. With their veto power, China and Russia have blocked any concerted council action or pressure. Instead of acting, council members have spent a great deal of time wrangling over whether to hold private briefings on Sri Lanka in the UN's basement – which would make the meeting unofficial – or in regular council rooms."Is this false news?Source: <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2009/04/27/we-cannot-ignore-sri-lanka" target="_blank">https://www.hrw.org/news/2009/04/27/we-cannot-ignore-sri-lanka</a><hr />While Russia hasn't explicitly used its veto power on any resolutions directly pertaining to Sri Lanka in the UN Security Council, its actions have often been perceived as benefiting the Sri Lankan government in situations related to human rights concerns and accountability for alleged war crimes during the Sri Lankan Civil War. Here's a breakdown:No direct veto:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No Security Council resolutions specifically focused on Sri Lanka have been brought to a vote since 2009. There were proposals for resolutions in 2009 and 2014, but they were never formally tabled and voted on due to lack of support from some permanent members, including Russia.</li> </ul>Indirectly blocking action:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Russia, along with China, has been criticized for consistently opposing international investigations into alleged war crimes during the Sri Lankan Civil War. This effectively blocks any UN-led initiatives for accountability and puts pressure on the Sri Lankan government to conduct its own investigations, which have been criticized by human rights groups as inadequate.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Russia has also generally opposed resolutions focusing on human rights concerns in countries with close ties to it, which some speculate extends to Sri Lanka, a recipient of military aid and diplomatic support from Russia. This opposition can weaken international pressure on governments to improve their human rights records.</li> </ul>Overall:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">While Russia hasn't formally used its veto power against Sri Lanka, its actions in the UN Security Council have often hindered international efforts to address human rights concerns and promote accountability in the country. This indirect support for the Sri Lankan government's position has been criticized by human rights groups and some member states.</li> </ul>It's important to note that the situation is complex and nuanced, with other factors like internal Sri Lankan politics and geopolitical considerations also playing a role. However, Russia's stance on UN action related to Sri Lanka has undoubtedly been perceived as advantageous to the Sri Lankan government and detrimental to efforts for international accountability and human rights improvement.------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1703737872[/DATETIME]<hr />Russia has never used veto power in favor of LK, not because they don't support SL, but because there never has been a formal resolution to use the veto power in favour of SL. But in many occasions, Russia has stood the side of SL.[USER=522682]@Edward Kenway[/USER] Do you still think Downfalling of Russia wouldn't have any impact over the global politics?------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1703738046[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
