The resolution was supported by 141 nations with 35 abstaining, and five voting against including Syria and Belarus. Although it is not legally binding, it showed Russia’s isolation at the world body. UAE’s Lana Nusseibeh: “We need to shift our mindset from conflict management to conflict resolution. Let this crisis be the wake-up call.” NEW YORK: Loud applause resounded in the UN General Assembly Hall as member states overwhelmingly voted to adopt a resolution that condemned Russia’s “aggression against Ukraine” and called on Moscow to stop the war and withdraw its troops. The resolution was passed in a rare emergency session called for after a similar resolution was shot down at the Security Council by a Russian veto. It is a so-called “Uniting for Peace” resolution, which allows a deadlocked council to refer the situation in question to the General Assembly.
