      There have been responses but USA simply veto’s any move to put pressure on them.

        so more like the “USA sanctions for being against them” Council instead of human rights?

          No, more like “you are suspended for a while, because of an aggressive military invasion of your neighbor and causing hundreds and hundreds of civilian deaths”

            I was talking about isn’trael but okay. Funny how just shattering people in your own country for 8 years is just completely fine for the west. Doesn’t matter if they’re russian right? I’ll care when the standards are actually applied, and not just abused to be a wing of the united state’s political fuckery.

              Ok, I didnt understand your post properly

              There have been numerous attempts to curb growth of Israel but it only takes one blocking vote by a permanent UN member to stop a motion. Those permanent members are China, France, Russia (inherited from USSR), UK, and USA. Since there is a historically close link between USA and Israel, USA blocks actions against Israel. But this itself does not make the organization USA-centric, and it’s unrelated to why Russia was suspended from the group.

    Russia hasn’t done anything in Ukraine that US hasn’t been doing for decades in countries across the globe on a far larger scale. The vote to suspend Russia from the UNHRC while countries like US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia are on it, simply shows that the whole organization is a joke.

      True, but Russia is still terrible, so I don’t care

        Nah, you just have to own all the media and report whatever is favorable to you.

      This is true, but the regime in Russia is an evil imperialist force too.
