After New York, India abstained in Geneva at another Ukraine-related vote in a UN body. The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) voted on Monday to hold an urgent debate on Ukraine that will also consider a resolution for a probe into alleged human rights violations.
Speaking before the vote, Ukraine’s permanent mission to the UN in Geneva said Russian forces were attempting “to sow panic among the population by specifically targeting kindergartens and orphanages, hospitals and mobile medical aid brigades thus committing acts that may amount to war crimes”.
Earlier on February 25, the president of the Human Rights Council, Federico Villegas had confirmed that he had received a letter from ambassador Yevheniia Filipenko requesting the Council to convene an urgent debate on human rights in Ukraine. This initiative was supported by the European Union and the United States.
