General Assembly voted Thursday to suspend Russia from the world organization’s leading human rights body over allegations of horrific rights violations by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, which the United States and Ukraine have called tantamount to war crimes. It was a rare, if not unprecedented rebuke against one of the five veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council (Associated Press). From Daily Mail: More than 90 countries voted to kick Moscow off the council after an American-led drive, while 24, including the despotic regimes of China, Syria, Belarus and Zimbabwe – all Russia’s closest allies – voted against the measure. Nearly 60 countries including India, which continues to buy weapons from Russia, abstained (Daily Mail). Nikki Haley: Today’s UN vote kicking Russia off the UN Human Rights Council is the right thing to do. When you give war criminals a seat at the table, the council loses all credibility. Now do Venezuela, Cuba, and China (Twitter). |

"When you give war criminals a seat at the table, the council loses all credibility."
One down and many more to go, Russia has a very long history of doing horrific things, they never should have been able to set foot in the building!
