The New York Times writes that the United Nations (UN) Security Council has not done enough to generate “diplomatic road maps” that would help resolve the crises taking place in both Syria and Ukraine, citing the body's voting record and meeting topics. “The paralysis over Syria has marked a new level of dysfunction, experts say, and has given a fillip to those who call for a fundamental shake-up of the Council’s composition and rules of engagement,” according to the article. Because the UN has been unable to pass certain resolutions, with Russia often vetoing the measure as one of five permanent members of the Council, the delivery of humanitarian aid to millions in desperate need in Syria has been blocked, the article notes.
