But I'm not convinced that we in the West will make things better by joining in, at any rate without formal UN approval.

So if there is UN agrees you would be happy to see military intervention? We really have to wait for Russia (the same Russia that is currently quietly invading their neighbours) to agree to any action to stop this situation?
In my opinion an international body such as the UN should not restrict human rights to the lowest sense of morality at the security council.

I agree. But we have the capability to intervene and reduce these actions. I don't like to think that my country finds it preferable to watch these people die rather than upset a political balance that does not exist.
