Biden says Russia 'has no place on the Human Rights Council'
President Biden applauded the United Nations on Thursday for voting to suspend Russia from its Human Rights Council, saying Moscow “has no place” on the council.
“The United States worked closely with our Allies and partners around the world to drive this vote because Russia is committing gross and systemic violations of human rights. Russian forces are committing war crimes,” Biden said in a statement.
“Russia has no place on the Human Rights Council. After today’s historic vote, Russia will not be able to participate in the Council’s work or spread its disinformation there as the Council’s Commission of Inquiry investigates Russia’s violations and abuses of human rights in Ukraine.”
Earlier on Thursday, the U.N. General Assembly voted to suspend Russia’s participation in the human rights body in a 93-24 vote in response to the Bucha, Ukraine killings. Fifty-eight countries abstained.
