Madrid bombing - U.N. response

It is interesting that the UN Security council's only response to the Madrid bombing was to pass resolution 1530. (You cannot link to it directly. This link takes you to all of the 2004 resolutions, look for "1530 -- Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts" and click.) One page long - it blames the Basque ETA group. It expresses deepest sympathy, urges all States to cooperate and expresses its reinforced determination to combat all forms of terrorism... Business as usual...
