4 октября 2022
A group of 11 countries issued a joint statement to the UNHRC demanding to "return to responsible implementation of human rights obligations." 

The states condemned discrimination against Russians and the Russian-speaking population. In addition to Russia itself, Belarus, China, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Syria and Venezuela signed the document.

The countries drew attention to their concern about the depth of discrimination unleashed by the authorities of some states against Russians in recent months.  A "particular concern" was expressed about discrimination against children with Russian citizenship and families with Russian roots.
