ye

#

The General Assembly can suspend the rights and privileges of any Council member that it decides has persistently committed gross and systematic violations of human rights during its term of membership.[15] The suspension process requires a two-thirds majority vote by the General Assembly.

#

Okay so 47 current members

#

2/3 x 47 = 31.3333 = 32 members

#

lets take a look

unreal path

I mean we got enough to over rule the condemnation in the UNGA

I can see 32 from there

Remember Russia vetoed it in the SC and we had to overrule it in the GA

Does that mean 2/3 of total

hm

I think so

Idk how abstains or no votes count

There’s the overrule for the condemnation

thats way more then 2/3 anyway

well, 20 over min

if you include absentions as nays

We got plenty last time

the General Assembly, by a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting

sooo abstentions ignored

so 2/3rd is incredibly easy to get

unreal path
#

Oh really?

split aurora
#

the UN document creating the organisation

unreal path
#

Well present would mean they don’t count no votes

#

Does it say specifically abstained

split aurora
#

Section 8 paragraph 3

# 
Members of the United Nations; when electing members of the Council, Member
States shall take into account the contribution of candidates to the promotion and
protection of human rights and their voluntary pledges and commitments made
thereto; the General Assembly, by a two-thirds majority of the members present and
voting, may suspend the rights of membership in the Council of a member of the
Council that commits gross and systematic violations of human rights;```

since abstaining is the process of declaring no-vote

I assume they intended to abstain anyway

soooo makes not a great deal of difference

It’s just dumb :/ like you have a job go do it

#

The thing is I think there was a least one that was present for a vote but didn’t vote they didn’t even abstain

#

Like why

split aurora
#

I think not-present here

#

doesnt specifically mean not-at the meeting

unreal path
#

And then they spoke explaining why they didn’t vote

split aurora

but just not confirming an abstention counts as the blank

it counts the same in practice as abstaining

I think

Not 100% certain here

It’s not rocket science

I wonder what happens if you hit the wrong button by accident

Can you change your vote before it ends

IK you can vote both ways to abstain

dunno if you can change!

Like that would make my anxiety go crazy thinking this is the right one to push for this vote right

I wonder if that could account to some not voting ablobthinking

#

I still love the point out that Serbia voted to condemn Russia abloblaugh

#

They didn’t even abstain

#

I wonder if it could be related to Kosovo 🇽🇰 since Russia was supporting break away regions

The main issue with getting any vote done is hoping for a country to just have the balls to get it started

They had a journalist in Kyiv talk about what she saw during a tour in Bucha, and he was asking legitimate questions about their freedom of movement and whatnot, but things went downhill from there

#

Lanz outright asked her if she thinks that she‘s part of Ukrainian propaganda, then quickly apologised after she slammed him down and then suggested that the Ukrainians shouldn’t have invited 50 international journalists but instead only "2-3 independent journalists who wouldn’t have recorded such explicit footage and shown it to the public"

I mean, they're not wrong that its not their business, talking purely geopolitcally

fierce arch
#

i think its abhorrent that they do this

#

but the foreign policy of many countries is to be as neutral as possible

#

with no exceptions

leaden grove
#

Today, nations around the world are called again to take sides – between Russia and the west, and very soon between the west and China. But as the map of sanctions attests, the cross-pressure between these great powers may once again spark a movement for non-alignment, demanding a more universal application of international law against demands for unilateral exception

leaden grove
#

Like you can decide to be completely neutral when it comes to trade or internal affairs of other countries, but all countries should follow and support international law

#

its horrible, but sadly the way our global political system is built

#

same situation with the uyghur genocide

split aurora
#

yep

leaden grove
#

"“Neutrality does not mean indifference,” says Pierre Sané. “Neutrality means continuously calling for the respect of international laws; neutrality means that our hearts still go to the victims of military invasions and arbitrary sanctions never imposed on Nato countries"

#

The whole "calling for" part is just typical UN language that has no effect whatsoever

#

I think Russia‘s actions have more than shown that no diplomatic solution alone will convince them to back down

#

And even if they provide no aid themselves, they should at least use their vote in the GA for good

leaden grove
split aurora
#

Neutrality shouldn't

#

But in the world we live in, nation states only care about human rights when it concerns then

And ultimately peace and the observance of human rights is only possible if governments possess and use their power against violators

split aurora
#

And its fuckung disgusting its that way

#

and I despise it

but sadly that is how it be

leaden grove

The thing is that there’s always going to be someone who will try to violate human rights or start a war

before I start my whole explaination, if you dont mind, in which country do you live? it helps to explain in context to others

opal cloak
stone vigil
#

ok so the reason, as far as I can gather, for a large amount of abstainance from Africa is due to it's current economic and political climate. Many countries are desperate for any sort of help, regardless of where it comes from, and it's possible that if voting against Russia, they, and their allies, can withdraw support from Africa, which will absolutely cripple some economies and can lead to major instability, worse than it is already. Imagine going outside of London and seeing just miles miles overcrowded houses crudely put together with pieces of junk metal, where 20 people share one portable toilet, or going to the border and just seeing complexes of refugee shelters which barely or rarely meet the minimum requirements of basic living needs. Imagine going home, everyday, living in fear of gangs of human traffickers coming to your town and murdering, looting and kidnapping people, or having to flee thousands of kilometers by foot to escape brutal civil wars, that's sadly what a large part of Africa is going through. Hell, here in South Africa, the price of bread is expected to almost double in the next month and were seen as one of the more stable countries. Many countries are in deep trouble and cant afford to risk losing any support at all

I mean it's a nice sentiment, but a peacekeeping mission sanctioned by the United nations security council is a form of direct intervention - albeit with legitimate justification, most nations won't vote for it since they don't want to increase global tensions any further and few nations would want to commit the mannpower.

#

As well as all that, most Western governments (not necessarily the people tho) believe the Ukrainians are holding their own with the current amount of arms being supplied, and that further intervention isn't necessary anyway.

No, it’s probably because we need to politically show the wrong doing of Russia before we can step in

Mick Wallace has been criticised for supporting Venezuela, Ecuador, China, Russia, Belarus and Syria during his period as an MEP.[32][33] In November 2020, Wallace referred to Belarusian opposition presidential canditate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya as a "pawn of western neoliberalism".[34] In February 2021, Wallace was reprimanded for using a swear word during a session of the European Parliament. Wallace had referred to Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó as being an "unelected gobshite".[35]

In July 2014, Wallace and Daly were arrested at Shannon Airport while trying to board a US military aircraft. Wallace said the airport was being used as a US military base and that the government should be searching the planes to ensure that they are not involved in military operations or that there are no weapons on board.[26][27] Wallace was fined €2,000 for being in an airside area without permission, and chose not to pay. He was sentenced to 30 days in prison in default, and in December 2015 was arrested for non-payment of the fine.[28] Joan Burton accused Wallace of "putting Irish people at risk" of terrorism by repeatedly linking Shannon Airport to US-led wars "simply for the sake of some media coverage".

That last sentence is rather hypocritical if you consider that as previously said, China and Eritrea are still allowed to take part while doing nothing but systemic violations of human rights.

of note, this is just gamma radiation

given they were digging in contaminated soil, likely also some alpha and beta injested, doing further damage

(alpha and beta do little unless injesteted, as they struggle to penetrate the skin barrier, gamma has no issue but does less damage)

Thats greater then the max yearly dose for a nuclear power plant worker

This is also a part of inner politics propaganda. 
Everyone is corrupt, everyone is a lier.There is no point in changing anything, next president/government official will be just as bad as the previous one. Staying out of politics is safer.

The EU will also sanction companies whose products or technology have played a role in Russia’s war, key oligarchs and businesspeople, high-ranking Kremlin officials, proponents of disinformation, and family members of already sanctioned individuals.

Are there any truths to that children claim btw? I dont know a great deal about the war in donbas other than that its a thinly veiled Russian fuelled independence operation

copper monolith
#

one of the main reasons for Russia to take control of Donbas is it's big reserves of oil and gas, if Ukraine were to keep them, they'd produce enough to be independent from Russia's energy, and also send huge amounts to Europe, reducing it's reliance on Russian energy too

#

(same goes for Crimea, though that mostly has gas underwater)

#

the "for our children" thing is def just for propaganda sakes

it's basically from the statement of "you've been bombing children in Donbas for 8 years"

Yeah, I'm having a hard time finding specific info.

This is the closest I got https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley_of_Angels but even that is filled with a lot of citation needed

Alley of Angels

The Alley of Angels in Donetsk, Ukraine is a memorial for children of Donbas killed during the War in Donbas. At the entrance there is an arch made of forged roses interwoven with machine gun ammunition casings, a symbol of war, and doves, a symbol of peace. Under the arch there is a granite slab with the names and ages of the killed children.

The only thing thats reasonably reliable is the UNICEF claim https://twitter.com/UNICEF_UA/status/1046739870721474560

UNICEF Ukraine (@UNICEF_UA)

Three boys were killed and one was wounded by a mine explosion in Donetsk region, #Ukraine. The presence of mines and UXOs threaten the lives of 220,000 children in the conflict zone in eastern #Ukraine. Over 140 children were killed or injured by mines since the conflict started

But that only shifts the question to landmines. And I also can't get a definitive answer for that. Though evidence points to Russia/Russian-separatists, as there is a lot of mention of Ukraine attempting to defuse mines as more are planted https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2016/apr/04/ukraine-attempt-defuse-landmines-as-more-are-planted

Ukraine's desperate attempt to defuse landmines – as more are plant...

The death toll of 600, including many children, from mines and unexploded ordnance is likely to rise as former refugees try to reclaim homes and jobs
