UN General Assembly suspends Russia from Human Rights Council

Of the 193 members of the assembly, 93 voted in favor of suspension as proposed by the United States while 24 voted against and 58 abstained, suggesting weakening international unity against Russia at the United Nations.Suspension required two-thirds of the votes for and against; the abstentions did not count.

The US argues that this punishment - suspending Russia from the Geneva-based organization that is the UN's main human rights monitor - is more than symbolic and in fact intensifies Russia's isolation after the assault on Ukraine that began February 24. The world has been outraged by images of scores of civilians apparently executed and left in mass graves in areas formerly controlled by Russian troops. This carnage has led to new rounds of sanctions against Russia.

Putin is not bothered

MangenaMhamba Please also suspend the USA.

only after a month of murders ?

So South Africa abstaining from the voting did not help?

That crap called HRC never existed in the first place unless it serve few.
