Standing by your decision for the sake of it is never strength. It takes a lot more to admit you’re wrong and change. These people are now in a position that if they admit they are wrong, they’re admitting they were okay with all the horrible things they believed in.
Looking at your past self and distancing yourself from that is terrifying, harrowing, and humbling, so most people find it easier to just double down. I don’t think the lot of them truly believe anything anymore. Just what those in charge tell them to believe because then they can relinquish their moral responsibility. “If everyone else around me thinks this way, it must be right!”
This is some of the stupidest shit I hear on a regular basis. All my childhood, we were taught the phrase ‘checks and balances’ and then you come across shit like this. No one thought about any one of the UN powers becoming a problem? Does no one plan for these systems designed to prevent abuse to be… abused? “Sorry. Can’t tell them to stop the genocide. Go ask your mother.” Complete enabling bullshit.
