explain this very point twice during the UN meetings. He did point this out as being a rule that was being ignored. But, I didn't hear of any further activity regarding this.

The law often asks for just a peg to hang your position on. So, he has made a very valid point which should be followed up on. But, who knows how much all those nations are really pissed, or not. They seemed pissed that they had to come back and spend all this extra time redoing the resolution with a full assembly vote. And, a couple of them have stated that because Russia is voting on a conflict in which it is involved, they should not have the chair. I hope they vote very quickly on it.

Thank you for reminding me of this very important point!

Ukraine,
