Which country has ignored the most UN resolutions?
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

lol!
 
Firstly, China has a veto. So they're NEVER going to have a resolution placed against them.
Secondly, it seems to me that the question assumes that UN resultions are "good", and that ignoring them is "bad". What if ignoring UN resolutions is "good"?
 
... nice idea though. Id' say the bad guy is probably Australia. In most things... ;)

question 2 doesn't necessarily follow question 1

Israel have probably got off the lightest for ignoring UN resolutions (which in themselves are worth little more than the paper they're written on).

The answer is Morocco.( All to do with Western Sahara) The world has quite a skewed view of who ignores what.
Aftre Maroc it's Israel and Iraq. Where clearly a lot of anger has been and is directed.

Why does Maroc escape the headlines? Well it's albeit low key friend of Israel and BIG TIME friend of the USA and France...

This project , a wall, of some huge scale was built my Maroc with Israeli assiastance.

Israel feels persecuted too easily and believe no moral laws apply to them because of past history. If people look even slightly askance at anything they do they blame it on anti-semitism rather than taking a good look at their behaviour. It's always everyone else's fault wah wah wah

I'm not condoning killing activists - and think they should be jumped all over for doing that but If you were told by your neighbours that you had no right to be on the map, and that they wouldn't stop until they'd took you off of it, you'd have every right to defend yourselves.

In response to Israel's 2008 Gaza attack Richard Falk ( professor emeritus of international law and practice at Princeton University, is the United Nations Human Rights Rapporteur in the Occupied Territories and a member of the Nation editorial board) issued this "The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the laws of war"
 
In September 2009, a UN special mission, headed by Justice Richard Goldstone, produced a controversial report accusing both Palestinian militants and Israeli Defense Forces of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity, and recommended bringing those responsible to justice. The UN Human Rights Council endorsed the report, criticizing Israel but not Hamas. In January 2010, the Israeli government released a response criticizing the Goldstone Report and disputing its findings.
 
The Israeli Govt did apolagise for 'deliberately blowing up the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency' injuring 3 relief workers and destroying food for 750,000 refugees
 
 
They used Mr Incredible's very so called logic to explain away the fact that based on data collected by Amnesty International delegates in Gaza and on cases documented by local NGOs, Amnesty concluded that an overall figure of some 1,400 fatalities is accurate and that, in addition to some 300 children, 115 women and 85 men aged over 50, some 200 men aged less than 50 were unarmed civilians who took no part in the hostilities -so that makes 700 innocent bystanders killed -  maybe you think a 50/50 ratio of killing bad guys and good guys is defending oneself but I certainly don't

Arabs have a fair share of blame for the whole mess in the Middle East, but Israel has occupied a LOT of Arab land which it has no intention of returning in long-standing contravention of UN resolutions.

Further the Israeli domestic policy has so marginalised the Palestinian Arabs and brought them into a completely desperate situation, which in turn has bred extreme fundamentalism and radicalism which now bite the Israelis on their arse, and creates a new vicious cycle of violence and hatred.

if Nth Korea overrun the peninsula and all the South Koreans get sent here I know all the pro-Israel people will be delighted and welcome them with open arms.

you can say there is a historical relevance to Jews having a stake in 'the Holy Land' but there is no mandate for oppression of the poor sods who were already there. So unless it is a managed peaceful negotiation between equal sides Israel is illegal and inherently unjust.

people say the Arabs want to wipe them off the map, that is after the imposition on them of Israel.
They wanted a negotiated settlement not 400000 refugees and a nuclear armed neighbor. So the original failure to do the job properly means the Arabs get punished twice.

1. It would help our football develop
2. It would solve the problem of dogs attacking people
3. There would be more bulgolgi and om-rice in shops.

Any down sides?

I thought it did everything.

And you can use for months and return the empties and get a full refund. What other product gives you this?

Bear with me...

NZ participates in the resource plunder of Western Sahara.
When was the last time it made the papers/news/radio?
When was the last time any NZ politician called for "urgent action on the situation"?

Conveniently ignored. My take is that this is far more of concern to NZ than anything Israel does and yet....    get my drift?
