Russia gets resolution through UN rights council, in first since 2022GENEVA, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Russia on Friday ushered a resolution through the UN Human Rights Council, a first since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in what observers said signals a growing push to re-enter the global stage. The text tabled by Russia seemed bland, merely calling on countries to properly celebrate the 60th anniversary of the adoption of international human rights covenants. Council observers said Russia had used a seemingly innocuous text to make it difficult for countries to vote against it. "States seeking to promote and protect human rights must be prepared for a more aggressive Russian posture at the Human Rights Council and across the multilateral system," he warned. She condemned Russia's "blatant disrespect for universally recognised human rights standards".
