Russia Insider.png UN Backs Russia's War on US-Backed Syria Terrorists UN Security Council resolution authorises 'all necessary means' to be used against groups associated with al Qaeda Alexander Mercouris, Russia Insider, Moscow, 23 November 2015 The full text of the Resolution - which is not limited to Syria - is here (click, scroll down) <http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/un-security-council-backs-russias-war -against-syrian-jihadis-hilt/ri11364> . The UN has also released - along with the full text of the Resolution - a summary of the debate in the Security Council <http://www.un.org/press/en/2015/sc12132.doc.htm> that preceded the vote. The key words in the Resolution are these: "(The Security Council) Calls upon Member States that have the capacity to do so to take all necessary measures, in compliance with international law, in particular with the United Nations Charter, as well as international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law, on the territory under the control of ISIL also known as Da'esh, in Syria and Iraq, to redouble and coordinate their efforts to prevent and suppress terrorist acts committed specifically by ISIL also known as Da'esh as well as ANF, and all other individuals, groups, undertakings, and entities associated with Al-Qaida, and other terrorist groups" The Security Council has not only backed Russia's military campaign ("all necessary means"), but it has also made clear that Russia is fully entitled to extend this campaign to "all other individuals, groups, undertakings, and entities associated with Al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups". The Resolution names amongst these terrorist groups the Al-Nusrah Front. Russia is therefore fully authorised to bomb all the various jihadi groups in Syria that it is bombing.
