From 1 April, it will be Russia’s turn to take up the monthly presidency of the 15-member council, in line with a rotation that has been unaffected by the Ukraine war.
Dmytro Kuleba said: ‘You cannot image a worse joke for April Fools' Day … The country that systemically violated all fundamental rules of international security is presiding over a body whose only mission is to safeguard and protect international security’.

To help us understand and parse this madness I recommend the essay On Corporate Bodies by William Hazlitt. One of the greatest prose writers in the English language. All his life he unrelentingly fought with his pen for the freedom of the individual. The English poet John Keats called him “our Shakespeare prose writer”. He was correct.
