The head of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation said on Tuesday that he hoped member states will vote in favour of suspending Russia over its invasion of Ukraine in a special ballot to be held on Wednesday.
It follows a vote by the U.N. General Assembly earlier this month to suspend Russia from the U.N. Human Rights Council - an inter-governmental body within the assembly - over reports of "gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights" in Ukraine, prompting Moscow to announce it was quitting it.
