In February 2014, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2139 that demanded an end to indiscriminate aerial bombardment including the use of barrel bombs.[38] China and Russia supported the measure allowing its passage.[38] Five months later in August 2014, it was reported that barrel bomb use had instead escalated in defiance of the ban.[39] Human Rights Watch produced a map showing at least 650 new impact locations consistent with barrel bomb attacks.[40] In early September 2014, Samantha Power, U.S. Permanent Representative to the U.N., stated that "The Syrian government has increased its reliance on barrel bombs to wage a brutal aerial campaign".[41] By November 2014, it has been reported that the Syrian government has increased its barrel bombing campaign while world attention has been diverted following the American-led intervention in Syria.[42]
