>So... does this mean any nation should ignore any UN resolution as long as it perceives it contrary to its interest?
Any country who believes a Security Council resolution is passed strictly, or even mostly, due to the self-interest of countries passing that resolution should certainly ignore it. If the U.S. and it's allies were to pass a resolution tomorrow about Iran that served
only their self-interest, I wouldn't fault Iran for ignoring it.
Each resolution should be viewed on its merits alone, not the political agenda of those voting for or against it.
>So it's your contention that every U.N. Security Council resolution is a good one, based on sound reasoning, and not in fact influenced by each country's own interests?I don't think you really answered my question earlier.
