The UN General Assembly on Thursday approved a U.S.-initiated resolution to suspend Russia from the world organization’s Human Rights Council amid mounting evidence of atrocities by the Russian military in Ukraine.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield launched the campaign to suspend Russia from the 47-member Human Rights Council after videos and photos from the Kyiv-area town of Bucha emerged, revealing streets strewn with corpses of civilians, apparently after Russian soldiers retreated.

Good! Keep going!!!
Stay strong, Ukraine! 🌻 🇺🇦 🌻
BTW, to remind everyone. While Ukraine is fighting Russian aggression , Russian gas is flowing perfectly through pipeline across Ukraine. It was never even slightly damaged. And IMF froze zero credit for Ukraine. So, Ukraine transfers Russian gas, fights Russian aggression and pays IMF credits at the same time. How’s that?
You are correct they should have taken it out already they were stealing it after chimera which is okay with me the gas that is 👍🏼
Because ukraine destroying it could screw relations with the EU an dUkraine while eu is providing aid, weapons and refugee space
if Russia was on the Human Rights Council, we could invite North Korea to take their place.
That true
Another win for the forces of good.
Good for them. No stupid obligation.
America and NATO members are the last to talk about human rights💪🏻Z🇷🇺Z
