In five ballots in New York, Russia missed the necessary two-thirds majority – unlike 17 other countries. At the same time, North Macedonia surprisingly took part in battle votes against Russia in the decision for the last free place.
The Economic and Social Council Ecosoc consists of 54 states, each of which is elected for a three-year term. Every year 18 of the members are exchanged. This year was actually not expected with counter-candidates. The UN regulations now provide for votes to be taken until a country gets a two-thirds majority. That could drag on until next week.
