Just a day after CARICOM Heads reaffirmed an obligation to co-ordinate foreign policy there was a deep division in the ranks at a crucial United Nations vote yesterday over suspending Russia from the Human Rights Council for gross excesses in Ukraine
The resolution to suspend Russia alleged “gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights” by its invading army in Ukraine and was carried by a vote of 93 in favour, 24 against and 58 abstentions.
Guyana was among those CARICOM countries which abstained and questions were yesterday being asked about this decision given the discovery of mass killings in the Ukrainian town of Bucha after Russian troops withdrew.
