The United States is displeased with the outcome of UN Security Council's vote on setting up an international tribunal to investigate the cause of the Malaysian Boeing flight MH17 disaster, U.S. envoy to the United Nations Samantha Power has said.
“It is tragic that Russia has used the privilege entrusted to it to secure international peace and security…in order to frustrate international peace and security,” Power said at a meeting of the council on July 30.
“The United States believes firmly that those who carried out this unspeakable crime cannot remain unnamed and unpunished,” she said, adding that there cannot be impunity for the guilty.
“Efforts to deny justice only intensify the pain of the victims’ families, who have already endured more than any of us can fathom. It is the effect of Russia’s veto today [on July 29],” she said.
