The United Nations General Assembly suspended Russia from Human Rights Council after killings in Ukraine's Bucha.
Of the 193 members of the assembly, 93 voted in favor of suspension as proposed by the United States while 24 voted against and 58 abstained, suggesting weakening international unity against Russia at the United Nations.
It was the second ever suspension of a country from the council. Libya was the first, in 2011.
