Cooperation with and assistance to Ukraine in the field of human rights

Condemnatory

No

Analysis

• While the resolution recalls other UN resolutions that condemn Russia for its aggression against Ukraine, the resolution is short and technical with its main purpose being to keep Ukraine on the Council's agenda.
• Moreover, the resolution was adopted under Item 10, which concerns mere "technical assistance," signaling an uncritical approach.
