The UN General Assembly has condemned Russia's attack on Ukraine by a large majority and called on Russia to end its aggression. A total of 141 UN member states voted in favour of a resolution to this effect in New York on Wednesday, while five voted against and 35 countries abstained. It was only the 11th emergency meeting of its kind at the UN in more than 70 years and the first in decades. The minimum vote for the resolution to pass was 100 of the 193-member body, as in a 2014 resolution that invalidated a Russian referendum in Crimea. Other diplomats set the bar for success at 120 votes. Not all members vote in the assembly, and some of them do not have the right to vote at the moment because of outstanding payments. Unlike Security Council resolutions, a resolution adopted in the assembly is not binding under international law and has more of a symbolic significance. Observers, however, see it as a snapshot of the global mood regarding the Ukraine conflict. Australian Associated Press
