Casual reminder that the UN is not a government or authority

This. The UN isn't for "doing things". Its sole purpose is to provide an established avenue for diplomacy. It is a monumental achievement in human history and is critically important especially in tense times like this, for no other reason than enabling interstate dialogue. It isn't meant to be on anyone's side as an organization, it's meant to bring everyone to the table to encourage diplomacy to prevent war.

He'll very much do something about it: express 'deep concern' and call 'on all parties to respect (inter)national law'.

The UN if defined as having been formed to prevent nuclear war under the MAD (mutually assured destruction), had been 100% effective since it formed.

On the other hand, if your dad actually does work for Nintendo, you may in fact be quite fucked.
