Most of those abstaining are on Russia’s side, but think that they can continue to pretend that they aren’t. India is chief amongst these. India was among the many countries who claimed to be “Non-Aligned” when they were really aligned with the USSR. Algeria and Cuba are among the so-called Cold War “Non-Aligned” countries, whose vote against Russia’s expulsion reflects that they are still part of the Russian bloc. At least those voting against are honest, whereas the abstainers are duplicitous. Kenya is a big disappointment. After Kenya spoke out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, are they now cowering in fear?

India got rid of the UK apparently to replace them with Kremlin-Russia overlordship. It should be clear that the US needs to stop giving American jobs to migrants from India. They are taking American jobs and are a national security threat, especially in the tech and education sectors. Let India migrants migrate to their beloved Russia. India has too many people and Russia has too much land — it’s the perfect fit.

Russia needs to be suspended from the security council, so that the UN could send peacekeepers to Ukraine.

“UN General Assembly votes to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council 7 April 2022 UN Affairs
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on Thursday calling for Russia to be suspended from the Human Rights Council. 

The resolution received a two-thirds majority of those voting, minus abstentions, in the 193-member Assembly, with 93 nations voting in favour and 24 against.  
Fifty-eight abstained from the process. 

Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Vietnam, were among those who voted against. 

Those abstaining, included India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Cambodia. 

The meeting marked the resumption of a special emergency session on the war in Ukraine and followed reports of violations committed by Russian forces. 

This past weekend, disturbing photos emerged from the city of Bucha, a suburb of the capital, Kyiv, where hundreds of civilian bodies were found in the streets and in mass graves following Russia’s withdrawal from the area. 

Prior to the vote, Ukrainian Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya urged countries to support the resolution. 

“Bucha and dozens of other Ukrainian cities and villages, where thousands of peaceful residents have been killed, tortured, raped, abducted and robbed by the Russian Army, serve as an example of how dramatically far the Russian Federation has gone from its initial declarations in the human rights domain. That is why this case is unique and today’s response is obvious and self-explanatory,” he said. 

This is not the first time that a Member State has had its membership of the Human Rights Council suspended. Libya lost its seat in 2011, following repression of protests by ruler Muammar Gaddafi, who was later overthrown.

Gennady Kuzmin, Deputy Russian ambassador, in remarks before the vote, called for countries to “vote against the attempt by Western countries and their allies to destroy the existing human rights architecture.”

The UN Human Rights Council consists of 47 members and is based in Geneva.

Russia joined the body in January 2021 as one of 15 countries elected by the General Assembly to serve three-year terms.

Under the 2006 resolution that established the Council, the General Assembly can suspend a country from membership if it commits gross and systematic violations of human rights…”
