Nor has the United States, which has used its veto some 80 times (most frequently, in recent years, on Israel-related issues), shown much enthusiasm, notwithstanding its generally strong stand on genocide and related cases. Only the United Kingdom (which, like France itself, last resorted to the veto in 1989) has given any hint of support for the French initiative.
行使过80余次否决权的美国（其中近几年来在于以色列有关的问题上更加频繁地使用否决权）也没有表现出多大的热情，尽管其对种族灭绝及相关案例的立场还是颇为强硬的。只有英国（和法国一样，最后一次行使否决权是在1989年）表现出支持法国议案的迹象。
