On 2019-12-27, the UN General Assembly approved a resolution strongly condemning human rights abuses against Myanmar's Rohingya, 134-9 with 28 abstentions.

I can't find which countries opposed or abstained in online news articles or on the UN website.

    Why do some of them (e.g. Cuba) not have a symbol next to them? What does that mean? Dec 29, 2019 at 5:55

    @Stormblessed They possibly didn't attend the UN GA session, so they didn't vote.

  • Comments are not for extended discussion; this conversation about why some countries might have voted the way they did has been moved to chat.

  • Doesn’t Russia have veto power so this didn’t pass?
