The measure was approved with 119 countries voting “yes,” Belarus - a major arms supplier to Myanmar - voting “no” and 36 countries abstaining, including Myanmar’s neighbors China and India, along with Russia.
Myanmar’s UN Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, who in February denounced the military takeover, voted “yes” and urged the international community “to take the strongest possible action to immediately end the military coup.” The Foreign Ministry statement said it considers Kyaw Moe Tun as having been dismissed from his position and noted that he has been charged with treason in Myanmar.
“Accordingly, his statement, participation and action in the meeting are illegitimate and unacceptable and Myanmar strongly rejects his participation and statements,” it said.“While Myanmar embraces constructive advice by the international community in addressing the challenges that Myanmar is facing, any attempt infringing on the state sovereignty and interference in the internal affairs of Myanmar will not be accepted,” said the statement.
But it has never been able to condemn the coup or authorise an arms embargo or other sanctions because of an almost-certain veto by China, and possibly Russia.
That Min Aung Hlaing's Foreign Ministry does not represent us Myanmar. They are criminals and just terroists who are mad to get the power. We Myanmar are so happy and grateful with UN's decision. Thanks to UN and all the nations who stand with that incredible decision.
