This is the best summary I could come up with:
The vote came days after a Russian missile attack that killed 52 people in the north-eastern Ukrainian village of Hroza.
Earlier, Albania’s ambassador Ferit Hoxha had said it was important for member states to show it was not ready to “take an arsonist for a firefighter”.
Russia had promised to find “adequate solutions for human rights issues” and said it wanted to stop the body becoming an “instrument which serves political wills of one group of countries” - understood to be a reference to the West.
Diplomats said it was hoping to regain some international credibility after being accused of widespread rights abuses in Ukraine and inside its own borders.
The state was suspended from the human rights council in April 2022 with 93 members of the UN general assembly voting in favour, 24 against and 58 abstaining.
The council will consist of the following countries from 2024, for three years: Albania, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burundi, China, the Ivory Coast, Cuba, Dominican Republic, France, Ghana, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Malawi and the Netherlands.
