The UN General Assembly voted on Tuesday on a non-binding resolution on the “aggression against Ukraine: remedies and reparation,” initiated by the United States.

The text, adopted by 94 votes in favor, 14 against and 73 abstentions, establishes a mechanism for redress by Russia for the human and material destruction caused by its invasion of Ukraine.

“It is necessary to establish, in cooperation with Ukraine, an international mechanism for the reparation of damages” and “an international register of damages that will serve to identify and document the evidence.”

Morocco did not take part in the voting, nor did Venezuela, Burkina Faso and Azerbaijan.

Morocco was absent from the UN General Assembly resolutions condemning the Russian military intervention, on March 2 and 24, and on April 7.

In 9 months of armed conflict, Morocco has only joined an initiative denouncing a decision by Russia once on October 12 at the UN General Assembly, where it voted in favor of a resolution condemning Russia’s annexation of Ukrainian territories.
