Voting against Russia at the UN split the world in half - expert
17 member countries of the UN Human Rights Council were deprived of voting rights before yesterday's vote to suspend the Russian Federation's membership in this structure. Most of them were pro-Russian.
This was reported by diplomat and international analyst Javier Alexander Roa to the VChK-OGPU telegram channel.
“Venezuela and other countries lost their right to vote in the UN General Assembly due to arrears in paying contributions to the organization’s expenses. Therefore, Venezuela, at this session, where the Human Rights Council decided to remove or not remove Russia, was excluded from the vote. Another 16 countries were also excluded.
However, the representative of Venezuela to the UN, in his speech to UN members, rejected this arbitrary measure against Russia.
In the same series, such Latin American countries as Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Brazil also support Russia.
Russia is more timidly supported by Mexico, Barbados, El Salvador, Guyana, Suriname and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,” noted Javier Alexander Roa.
According to the expert, the US anti-Russian initiative to exclude Russia from the UN Human Rights Council, despite its formal success, became a failure of the States.
“93 in favor and 82 against (counting those who voted against and those who abstained), 17 members were not allowed to vote, including Venezuela. This means that less than half of the UN members voted for the resolution that excluded Russia from the Human Rights Council.
For US and European propaganda, the suspension is a success, but deep down, in truth, it is a deafening failure,” the expert sums up.
