Russia lost elections to three United Nations bodies this week, a sign that opposition to its invasion of Ukraine over a year ago remains strong.
The votes in the 54-member U.N. Economic and Social Council follow approval of six non-binding resolutions against Russia by the 193-member U.N. General Assembly. The latest — on Feb. 23, the eve of the first anniversary of the invasion — called for Moscow to end hostilities and withdraw its forces and was adopted by a vote of 141-7 with 32 abstentions.
In the ECOSOC votes, Russia was overwhelmingly defeated by Romania for a seat on the Commission on the Status of Women. It lost to Estonia to be a member of the executive board of the U.N. children’s agency UNICEF. And it was defeated by Armenia and the Czech Republic in secret ballot votes for membership on the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said after Wednesday’s votes, “This is a clear signal from ECOSOC members that no country should hold positions on critical U.N. bodies when they are in flagrant violation of the U.N. Charter.”

That’s quite a toss-up.
Who is the greater threat to the world: the resurgent Russian Empire or the so-called “United Nations”
The UN is far worse. They need to be booted out of the US. They are a Satanic body.
The United Nations are powerless in practice. They exist just for show.
Islam equals anti Israel, anti Christian
Conjugated, Antichrist.
How’s that for a hint?
The largest voting block at the UN is the OIC
Go figure
The UN can’t be more dangerous because in reality they are powerless.

And as a corrupt money pit, of course.
Both, so it is a pyrrhic victory to be sure.
It does give a somewhat suspect view of world opinion, none
the less.
The call for Russia to withdraw its forces was something I
wasn’t sure most would sign on to. Other than the noticeable
body of abstentions, it was interesting. The abstentions
were also.
Why did they abstain rather than side with Russia. Are
they not quite as solid on what is taking place, as some
would like us to believe. I honestly don’t know what to
make of that.
What is behind them is not powerless, it just appears powerless.
If it were so powerless, it would be gone.
They’ve got him now!!
Three meaningless ........ committees. Wow, what a blow to Putin.
The UnitedNazis are a worthless, no.. a dangerous organization. We must remove it and all its spurs and moles from USA territory
Worthless UN. Corrupt Russia. Corrupt Ukraine. Hideously stupid Americans believing that there is an American interest in any of them. Stupid chits.
