Russia was defeated in its bid to regain a seat in the UN’s premiere human rights body by a significant majority in Tuesday’s election in the General Assembly, which voted last year to suspend Moscow after its invasion of Ukraine.
Russia was competing against Albania and Bulgaria for two seats on the Geneva-based Human Rights Council representing the East European regional group.
In the secret ballot vote, Bulgaria got 160 votes, Albania got 123 votes and Russia just 83 votes.
In Tuesday’s election, the only other competitive race was in the Latin America and Caribbean group where Cuba, Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Peru were competing for three seats. Peru was the loser.
The other regional races were not competitive. China, Japan, Kuwait and Indonesia were elected to represent the Asia group. Burundi, Malawi, Ghana and Ivory Coast were elected to hold four African seats. And France and the Netherlands will take two Western seats.

“In the secret ballot vote, Bulgaria got 160 votes, Albania got 123 votes and Russia just 83 votes.”
The UN did something right for a change, but 83 supporters of genocide is still way too many.
Yeah, I was considering whether or not a secret vote would be wise and then saw the habitual human rights offenders still got 83 votes. This is still a victory for mankind and Cuba will vote for the ruzzo-nazi agenda anyway.
“During a Security Council session on Monday, Russia’s top UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya accused the US of spearheading efforts to hinder Russia’s re-entry to the human rights body.”
Looks like it worked. They would blame the US anyway, because the US have a 100 votes more than other countries. 🤣
Its interesting to hear the Krembots constantly barking about a uni polar society as if opposing the USA is their basic foreign policy and for no other reason. Truth is, if the Moskali were in the USA’s position the uni-polar society is exactly what they would want. That’s why every other word from them is “Globalism! Globalism!”
But Vassily Nebenzia, the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, insisted that there “are no beacons of democracy or rogue states, as is sometimes being portrayed.”
