Russia has been suspended from the United Nations’s human rights council after its invasion of Ukraine provoked revulsion and outrage around the world.
At a meeting of the UN general assembly on Thursday, April 7, 93 members voted in favour of Russia’s suspension, while 24 were against and 58 abstained.
This met the required threshold of a two-thirds majority of the assembly members that vote yes or no, with abstentions not counting in the calculation.
