US→refusing to co-sponsor a #UN resolution marking the third anniversary of #Russia's full-scale invasion, which reaffirms Ukraine's territorial integrity & condemns #Moscow's aggression, #Reuters reported, citing sources familiar w/ matter.
The upcoming UN vote, considered key indicator of global support for #Ukraine, can proceed w/o U.S. backing but may struggle to gain widespread support in the #GeneralAssembly.
The Kyiv Independent · US refuses to co-sponsor UN resolution condemning Russia, resists labeling Moscow 'aggressor' in G7 statement, media report"In previous years, the United States has consistently co-sponsored such resolutions in support of a just peace in Ukraine," a source told Reuters.
Only six #GeneralAssembly members of the #UN voted against #Palestine's right to #SelfDetermination on 15 Nov. In addition to the US and Israel, the other 'no's were from Argentina, Nauru, Paraguay, and Micronesia. These are the powers who still back #colonialism and #apartheid.

Is suspension the same as expulsion @appassionato ? IIRC, South Africa was suspended, not expelled. I have a vague recollection that that was because of Security Council obstruction.

A country can be removed from the United Nations General Assembly via a vote based on the recommendation of the Security Council.
"A Member of the United Nations, which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter, may be expelled from the Organisation by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council," Article 6 of the charter states.
The #UnitedNations #GeneralAssembly on Thursday elected #Denmark, #Greece, #Pakistan, #Panama, and Somalia to the 15-member #UNSecurityCouncil for two-year terms starting on Jan. 1, 2025.
The Security Council is the only #UN body that can make legally binding decisions such as imposing #sanctions and authorizing #UseOfForce

Applause at UN as General Assembly votes to back Gaza ceasefire | AJ #shorts
Isn’t it funny that Ukraine, currently under attack and under siege by Russia abstained from a UN vote for a ceasefire to protect civilians in an area continuously under bombing raids by an invading force?
Even the Russian Federation is ironically calling for a ceasefire when they refuse to back out of Ukraine and continuously sending troops and missiles to destroy the country. Obviously they’ll vote against whatever the US position is.
UN General Assembly passes resolution calling for ceasefire
The resolution passed in a vote of:
153 in favour
10 against
and 23 abstentions.
Following 10 countries voted against the UNGA ceasefire resolution:
Austria

The UN’s relevance is at stake at this year’s General Assembly, a former UN official warns. The UN faces multiple challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, and the rise of authoritarianism. The UN needs to reform and revitalize its institutions, processes, and values to remain effective and credible.
Yesterday was the last day for each chamber of the #Virginia #GeneralAssembly to act on its own legislation. Here's where #CampaignFinance reforms stand in the commonwealth. #MoneyInPolitics 
(1/7)
Weekly update on #Virginia #CampaignFinance reform: a coalition of grassroots organizations gathered at the #GeneralAssembly on Tuesday to urge state lawmakers to take action on election spending. Later that day, a state senate committee advanced a pair of bills that would ban the personal use of campaign funds and prohibit legislators from fundraising on days the General Assembly is scheduled to meet during special sessions. #MoneyInPolitics

OpenSecrets NewsCampaign finance reform advocates put pressure on Virginia General Assembly - OpenSecrets NewsAdvocates from half a dozen grassroots organizations gathered at the Virginia General Assembly on Tuesday to urge state lawmakers to pass campaign finance reform.
There was some debate today in the #Virginia #GeneralAssembly's Privileges and Elections senate committee over how many states DO NOT limit political contributions to state politicians — five or 11? FWIW: The answer is five, when accounting for states that prohibit direct contributions from corporations, and four, when accounting for an Alabama law that limits the amount of money a state candidate can receive from a federal candidate. #CampaignFinance #MoneyInPolitics
