“For many experts and international affairs specialists, it is clear that the resolution to suspend Russia’s membership in the UN Human Rights Council is a very dangerous precedent for manipulating the activities of UN bodies,” RIA Novosti quotes Glaz.
According to him, this decision "very clearly shows the methods and approaches of the work of the collective West in the UN."
The UN General Assembly suspended Russia's participation in the Human Rights Council.
Later, Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Gennady Kuzmin said that the Russian side would prematurely terminate its powers in the UNHRC on April 7.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia condemned the suspension of Russia's participation in the HRC.
