The United Nations General Assembly has decided to pull Russia out of the United Nations Human Rights Group (UNHRC) at an emergency meeting of the United Nations General Assembly over the massacre in Ukraine’s Butcha city. 93 votes were cast in favor of excluding Russia, while India did not participate in this voting. Russia had described this meeting as part of a conspiracy of Western countries against them. Before the meeting, Russia appealed to all member states to vote against the human rights framework created by Western countries and their allies.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow would continue talks with Kyiv, despite repeated provocations, ahead of the UN General Assembly convened to pull Russia out of the UN Human Rights Organization. On the other hand, the representative present in the UN General Assembly on behalf of Ukraine said that taking Russia out of the UN Human Rights Organization is not an option but the responsibility of all of us. He said this while addressing an emergency meeting convened to exclude Russia from the human rights organization.
Addressing the gathering, the representative of Ukraine said that we are caught in such a strange situation where a member country of the United Nations Human Rights Commission is violating human rights by entering the border of a country. Not only this, he is doing war crime there which is against humanity. Significantly, a mass cemetery has been found in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, from which the embalmed bodies of about 300 Ukrainian citizens have been removed. Many of these people are those who have been shot from close range.
