Why doesn't the United Nations consider a resolution condemning Hamas' use of human shields.

@flipper1966 Probably because Hamas isn't a nation. So it's just words. They have no recourse.

@Ynotisay True. But Gaza has non-member observer status at the UN and seeks full UN membership. Riyad Mansour is the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations. Mansour has the official rank of Ambassador. Seems to me that gives some kind of UN jurisdiction over Gaza. Also, Palestine is recognized as a state by the UN. It's not just a territory.

@flipper1966 I know, right? They should write the terrorist group a sternly worded letter.

@LordShadowfire Such a resolution would be as effective as any other resolution passed by the UN. Namely, none.
