Guyana votes in favour of OAS suspension of Russia’s permanent observer status

Guyana was one of 25 countries which yesterday voted for a resolution at the  Organization of American States (OAS) to suspend Russia as a permanent observer to the inter-governmental institution over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

While the vote is seen as largely symbolic it underlines the breadth of global revulsion and action over Russia’s bloody and punishing invasion of Ukraine.

Guyana’s yes vote was cast by its Ambassador to the US and the OAS, Sam Hinds.
