The discussion was held at a session under consideration by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' six-month report on the work of the UN mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
Wood linked Russia's bid to review NATO's actions in 1999 to the fact that Russia's request for a special session on NATO attacks on Serbia had dropped twice.
During the session, Russian President Nebenzia pressed charges against NATO, a move that prompted Wood to take word.
The 1999 “Operation Alied Forces) was vital and legitimate to promote the withdrawal of Milosevic's Serb forces from Kosovo and prevent ethnic cleansing,” said Wood. “This operation was the last possible intervention to prevent genocide and was responding to the immediate need to protect the civilian population. ”
