    "UN suspends Russia from Human Rights Council"

    "The United Nations General Assembly has voted to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council during a meeting Thursday. The voting result: in favor 93; against 24; abstention 58.

    In a draft of the resolution, the UNGA said the General Assembly would “suspend the rights of membership in the Human Rights Council of a member of the Council that commits gross and systematic violations of human rights.”

    The General Assembly needed to vote in favor by two-thirds to remove Russia from the council.

    Before the vote, China’s UN ambassador Zhang Jun said the country would vote against the move."

    • But also no, the point was Putin was feeling very confident and invaded Ukraine exactly because of optics and can't pull out exactly because of optics :)

    • Russia doesn't give a fuck but Venezuela and Cuba it's a big deal. HR's of citizens violated by gov'ts and UN has no teeth bc of players like Russiahotroddy
    • Sure, excluding Russia from Human Rights Council doesn't directly stops bombings, but long term, naming and shaming goes a long way for a nation...
