India abstains on UNGA resolution calling for Russia to pay reparations to Ukraine

United Nations: India abstained in the UN General Assembly on a draft resolution calling for Russia to be held accountable for violations of international law by its invasion of Ukraine and requiring Moscow to pay reparations to Kyiv for damages, loss and injury resulting from the war. Moreover, the legal validity of such a process by a General Assembly resolution remains unclear,” India's Permanent Representative at the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj said. We need to avoid steps which preclude or endanger the possibility of dialogue and negotiations and from bringing this protracted conflict to an early end.” Reiterating Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assertion to Russian President Vladimir Putin that “this is not an era of war”, Kamboj said “with this firm resolve to strive for a peaceful solution through dialogue and diplomacy, India has decided to abstain on the resolution.” India has mostly abstained on resolutions related to the Russia-Ukraine war in the UN, including in the Security Council, General Assembly and the Human Rights Council. The resolution, co- It recognized the need for establishment, in cooperation with Ukraine, of an international mechanism for reparation for damage, loss or injury, and arising from the “internationally wrongful acts of the Russian Federation in or against Ukraine.” It recommended that UN Member States, in cooperation with Ukraine, create an international register of damage to serve as a record, in documentary form, of evidence and claims information on damage, loss or injury to all natural and legal persons concerned, as well as the State of Ukraine, caused by internationally wrongful acts of the Russian Federation in or against Ukraine.
