Horrifying if true: U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power reports that Pro-Russian militants at the scene of the Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 crash are taking victims’ bodies from responders at gunpoint, perhaps to further “sanitize” the crash site. The question now: what are the U.N. and U.S. prepared to do about it?
@AmbassadorPower So will there be tough response from int comm, particularly #usa?
