"Our
concern is that the U.N. Security Council is charged with protecting
international peace and security and yet in a case like Syria , where
civilians are clearly being targeted, they basically chose not to act and when
they did finally act, it was quite weak," Brown said.
China , France , Russia ,
the United Kingdom and the United States
are permanent members of the Security Council.
Brown says these countries are also major arms exporters, a situation that can create a conflict of financial interest.
"Of the top six arms dealers in the world, five of those top six are permanent members of the Security Council. And there is a certain irony in the fact that the governments charged with international peace and security in fact are major arms dealers," Brown said.

Also the UN observers found that “Both sides in Syria abuse
human rights - U.N. report” the very dangerous thing, try to put the Opposition
equal bargaining power so it has a position. The world should know they
are not equal firepower how they can put the Opposition as equal “ Both parties..”
one side comes with tanks and heavy ammunition shelling other side very
lightly armed for self defense or defense their own people. So do not put them
as “ Both parties..” have same bargaining position.
