the Special Rapporteur has never even heard of a protective mother and a threatened child, let alone a small nation under attack from a large one.

Not to be nitpicking a basically good article, but don't large nations have the right to defend themselves against smaller ones? I mean, Germany was smaller than the Soviet Union and Stalin saw no problem in defending his country from them. Right?

No, you see, Stalin should have gone crying to the United Nations and waited for them to do something while Nazi troops were slaughtering Russians.
