The UN's General Assembly has suspended Russia from the UN Human Rights Council in a historic vote
The resolution passed by the 193-member General Assembly draft expressed "grave concern at the ongoing human rights and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine," particularly at reports of rights abuses by Russia.
Suspensions from the human rights council are extremely rare. Libya was suspended in 2011 over attacks on protesters by forces loyal to the country's then-leader Muammar Gaddafi.
