Morocco was once again absent from a UN vote regarding the Russia-Ukraine war on Thursday. The resolution is calling for Russia to be suspended from the Human Rights Council.
This is the third time Morocco avoids voting on a resolution concerning the conflict between the two countries.
The resolution gave concern “at the ongoing human rights and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, particularly at the reports of violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law by the Russian Federation, including gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights”.
The resolution received a two-thirds majority of those voting, minus abstentions, in the 193-member Assembly, with 93 nations voting in favor and 24 against.
Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Vietnam, were among those who voted against, while fifty-eight abstained from the process.
