The UN is a diplomatic platform, that occasionally goes kinetic with peacekeeping or aid missions. The majority of the UN is bureaucrats of various levels, talking to other bureaucrats of various levels, to work together.
The UN is also the world police, but much more like a bounty hunter than a SWAT team. Any enforcement actions taken, are VERY targeted, have very well defined limits and rules, and basically requires a sponsor nation(s) to actually go Do The Thing. Which also requires the UN to agree to all those limits, rules, etc and to agree that enforcement is required.
Very often the UN gets bogged down by geopolitical influence issues, like with Syria in the 2010s. The no-fly zone that kept Gadaffi’s Air Force from stopping the uprising, wasn’t a UN action.
So, it was a binding resolution for immediate ceasefire…
There’s no ceasefire…
So how is it binding? Where’s the enforcement?
Has any country even stopped aid to Israel because they’re continuing their genocide?
Israel is still flagrantly breaking international law, which is more “binding” than any UN resolution
Israel has violated like 140 UN resolutions. Enforcement votes get blocked by the US.
As long as Genocide Joe keeps sending them more bombs they will continue.

Wait the ceasefire wasn’t honored? Serious question.
Not yet, and it was only supposed to last till 4/9…
So there’s not a lot of time for it to go into effect, which was the whole point of “immediate”.
That’s what I mean. People want to make this seem like a huge deal, but even if it happens eventually, it won’t last long.
