Answer by Desmond Last:
Children dying in war. Children losing legs in war. Children losing parents in war. Children starving in war. Children with little or no medical facilities in war. These are all circumstances the Security Council are by legal agreement obliged to do all they can to prevent.

The five members are not by International Agreement and Law allowed to take opposing sides in any conflcit.
There is no exemption for any President, Prime Minister or Military Commander in any United Nations agreement which allows for the killing of civilians.
