EDS NOTE: GRAPHIC CONTENT - Forensic pathologist Dr. Stuart Hamilton, right, presents one of the photos in a series of what is reported to be photographic evidence of torture in Syria as Gerard Araud, France's ambassador to the United Nations, looks on during a news conference at U.N. headquarters following a closed Security Council meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Ambassador Araud said a pall of silence lingered after the council members viewed the ghastly photographs of dead Syrian civil war victims, then questions slowly began about the credibility of the slides of the dead, who offer mute testimony to the savagery of a Syrian civil war in which more than 150,000 have died.

In this Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014 photo provided by the office of the Iranian President, Hamid Aboutalebi, an Iranian diplomat, who was recently named as Iran's ambassador at the United Nations, speaks at his office in Tehran, Iran. Iran has no plans to name a new diplomat to the United Nations, its Foreign Ministry said Saturday, after the United States blocked its pick in a rare rebuke that could stir fresh animosity at a time when the two countries have been seeking a thaw in relations. The Obama administration said Friday that the U.S. had informed Iran it would not grant a visa to Hamid Aboutalebi, a member of the group responsible for the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. While U.S. officials had been trying to persuade Iran to simply withdraw Aboutalebi's name, the announcement amounted to an acknowledgement that those efforts had not been successful.
