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.
