Britain sought to shame Russia on Friday for its deadly air strikes on the Syrian city of Aleppo, during a special session of the United Nations Human Rights Council called by London to set up a special inquiry into violations.
'Russia, you are making the situation worse, not solving it,' Tobias Ellwood, the British government minister for Africa and the Middle East said in a speech to the Geneva forum.
'This is shameful and it is not the action or leadership that we expect from a P5 nation,' he said, referring to the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.
