"The United Nations General Assembly has approved a resolution calling for
Russia to be held accountable for violating international law by invading
Ukraine. The consequences recommended included paying reparations for the
damage and loss of life during the war.
The resolution passed on Monday was supported by 94 of the assembly’s 193
members. It said Russia, which invaded its neighbour in February, “must bear
the legal consequences of all of its internationally wrongful acts, including
making reparation for the injury, including any damage, caused by such acts”.
Fourteen countries voted against the resolution, including Russia, China and
Iran while 73 abstained, including Brazil, India and South Africa. Not all
member states voted.
It was the lowest level of support of the five Ukraine-related resolutions
adopted by the General Assembly since Russia’s February 24 invasion.
The resolution recognises the need to establish “an international mechanism for
reparation for damage, loss or injury”.
It recommends the assembly’s member nations, in cooperation with Ukraine,
create “an international register” to document claims and information on
damage, loss or injury to Ukrainians and the government caused by Russia."
