Russia and China have vetoed a UN resolution to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court for possible prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the country's three year civil war.
The move on Thursday was the fourth time Russia and China blocked UN Security Council action on Syria. Moscow is a close ally of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
