a mockery of the UN Charter over and over again over the years and then lecture other nations and peoples about living in peace and not resolving problems and disagreements through conflict and taking territory and spoils. After willfully violating its' principles and agreements for their benefit they use those same UN principles and agreements when it suits their benefit as well and demonstrate their hypocrisy and arrogance.

The extrajudicial murders on the high seas are just the latest example. The true conclusion is that the permanent members of the Security Council from the post WW2 period contemplated and implemented the structure of the UN not for the purposes of restraining their behavior but rather that of all the other nations and people.
