The Group of Seven says it is time to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council as its foreign ministers gathered in Brussels on Thursday to discuss Ukraine.
“We are convinced that now is the time to suspend Russian membership of the Human Rights Council,” the ministers said in a joint statement.
They also urged Russia to immediately suspend its military operation in Ukraine in compliance with the ruling of the International Court of Justice.
Later on Thursday, the UN General Assembly will vote on suspending Russia from the Human Rights Council.
The US and allies initiated the move in connection with alleged atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, which Russia has called a staged provocation.
