New Delhi: India and Pakistan were among the 12 countries which abstained from voting on a UN Human Rights Council resolution seeking to address the deteriorating situation in Ukraine “stemming from Russian aggression” while China and Eritrea were the only two countries to vote against it in the 47-member body.
In another balancing act, India called for respect and protection of human rights of people in Ukraine and reiterated its “abiding commitment to global promotion and protection of human rights”.
The resolution sought an additional mandate for the Commission of Inquiry established earlier to specifically probe violations in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Sumy in Ukraine.
Adopted with 33 votes in favour, it also urged Moscow to provide international agencies unhindered access to people who have been “transferred” from conflictaffected areas of Ukraine and are allegedly being held in Russian territory. Moscow claims these people entered Russia of their own free will.
India had also abstained in March from voting in the Council on the resolution that established the Commission of Inquiry. India, however, has condemned the civilian killings in Bucha and also supported calls for an independent probe.
