UN Faces Critical Decision as Russia Aims for UN Human Rights Council Seat Despite Ukraine Conflict

In a controversial move, Russia, which was previously ousted from the UN Human Rights Council following its invasion of Ukraine, is making a bid to rejoin the international body. This pivotal decision will serve as a litmus test for Russia's international support. The UN General Assembly is set to vote on Tuesday to elect 15 new members to the Geneva-based UN body, covering terms from 2024 to 2026. Typically, each regional group pre-selects its candidates, which the General Assembly usually approves. However, this year, both Latin America and Eastern Europe have more candidates than available seats, leading to a competitive situation. Russia's candidacy has been met with skepticism, particularly in light of the recent Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian village of Groza, which resulted in over 50 casualties.
