U.S Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley slammed Russia Wednesday over its past role blocking the body from holding Syria’s Assad regime accountable, a day after Assad allegedly used chemical weapons against his people in northern Syria.
“We cannot close our eyes to these pictures, we cannot close our minds to the responsibility to act,” she said in a speech to the U.N. Security Council.
Haley ripped Russia for getting in the way of the United Nations holding Assad accountable after a prior attack in 2013, accusing Russia of defying “the conscience of the world.”
“Russia stood in the way of this accountability, it made an unconscionable choice.”
She went on to warn that if the United Nations could not act “there are times in the lives of states we are compelled to take our own action.”
