I've Been Thinking:
The Russians tabled a discussion on human rights abuses in Syria at the United Nations Security Council.
They asserted that human rights was not on the agenda and therefore should not be discussed. "We do not see any justification for this meeting since human rights is not a subject on the agenda of the Security Council," said Gennady Kuzmin, Russia's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations.
This is a typical Russian move.
Everyone knows about the rampant human rights abuses in Syria. Tabling a discussion on the obvious was a continuation of Russia's role in Syria. The Russians have been witness and even party to some of the abuses.
This is something they certainly do not want to discuss at the Security Council.
Eventually the subject will be placed on the agenda and it will be discussed.
