The World Health Assembly yesterday gathered to vote on a resolution to condemn Russia's aggression in Ukraine and also how to best respond to the health crisis there too.
There were 53 abstentions and also 12 countries who voted against.
I tried searching on their site here, however there was no immediate publication of the breakdown of the results. I was wondering where may I find these results?
On the right-hand section of the 75th World Health Assembly webpage, we find that Journal No. 6, 27 May 2022 contains a breakdown of the votes in Item 16 (Pillar 2) continued.
The Chair opened item 16.3 and invited the Committee to consider the draft resolution contained in document A75/A/CONF./6 Health emergency in Ukraine and refugee receiving and hosting countries, stemming from the Russian Federation’s aggression.
Two delegations took the floor to introduce their respective draft resolutions.
In accordance with Rule 74 of the Rules of Procedure, a roll-call vote was taken. The Chair drew a letter in order to identify the first country to vote which was “J”. The vote resulted in 88 votes in favour to 12 votes against, with 53 abstentions and 30 Member States absent, as follows:
