👏 Thanks to @LiechtensteinUN for pushing this important initiative to hold permanent members of UN Security Council accountable for vetoes. It's a step in the right direction.

There's been too much misuse of veto by permanent UNSC members, mostly #Russia & US.

Mini thread 🧵
Veto abuse - case 1: #Russia on Feb 26 vetoed UN Security Council resolution demanding that it end its invasion of #Ukraine & withdraw all troops. Under Article 27(3) of UN Charter, Russia, a party to the conflict, should have abstained but did not. 👎news.un.org/en/story/2022/… Image
Veto abuse - case 2: US has vetoed dozens of resolutions on #Israel & #Palestine. Its most recent was in June 2018.

Recall that @hrw @amnesty @btselem & others have found Israel to be committing crime against humanity of apartheid.

🧵Today's 10am ET UN Security Council meeting on #Ukraine is gearing up to be a big deal. President Zelensky will join by video after UN chief @antonioguterres, @DicarloRosemary & @UNReliefChief speak.

#Russia has promised "proof" that evidence of Russian atrocities in #Bucha & elsewhere are "fake" and a "staged provocation". This claim by Russia's UN envoy & others has been debunked.

See @hrw's fact-based reported on apparent Russian war crimes here: hrw.org/news/2022/04/0… Image
Also see @BBCWorld's excellent fact-checking piece that disproves #Russia's claims that #Bucha atrocities were faked. (Keep in mind that Russia always says these kinds of things are fakes, whether its atrocities in Ukraine or chemical weapons in Syria.) bbc.com/news/60981238 Image
