On April 4, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) adopted a resolution on the human rights situation in Ukraine resulting from the Russian invasion. The document was supported by 25 states, including Georgia, which also co-authored the resolution along with the countries of the collective West, Ukraine and Moldova. 4 countries – China, Ethiopia, Burundi and Sudan – voted against, 18 abstained.

The resolution provides for a one-year extension of the mandate of the commission of inquiry into human rights violations in Ukraine. The document expresses the UN Council's commitment to the sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity and unity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. The authors also strongly condemn Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, which violates the UN Charter.

The International Independent Commission of Inquiry on the events in Ukraine was established by the UN Human Rights Council on March 4, 2022, after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. It should be noted that the Russian Federation is not a member of the UN Human Rights Council and refuses to cooperate with the commission. The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly stated that this structure is biased. In particular, according to the official representative of the department, Maria Zakharova, "the speculative conclusions of the commission are based on the evidence-free stories of arbitrarily selected individuals who position themselves as victims and eyewitnesses of alleged crimes committed by the Russian armed forces."
