Moves and Counter-Moves at UN

China and Russia have both supported Myanmar by opposing a UN resolution requiring it to repatriate Rohingya refugees, which was sponsored by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation:

Meanwhile, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley announced that the US would cut $285 million from the UN budget following the UN resolution opposing US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capitol (also sponsored by OIC):

Even as India seeks better representation for itself at the UN through a permanent seat on the Security Council, in the meantime until that happens, India needs to be willing to weaken and undermine the UN which has become a bastion dominated by the Islamic countries.
