Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Mar, 2022 04:16 PM
  • The UN’s top human rights body holds urgent debate on Ukraine-Russia conflict

The U-N’s top human rights body is holding an urgent debate today on the situation in Ukraine and the possibility of creating a panel to investigate any abuses during Russia’s war with its neighbour.

The meeting is set to culminate in a vote Friday on whether to set up a three-person expert panel.

The vote by the 47-member-state body, which counts Ukraine and Russia as members, offers a bellwether of international sentiment about the Kremlin's invasion.

It comes a day after the U-N General Assembly voted to demand an immediate halt to Moscow’s attack on Ukraine.
