"Still Not Convinced": India On UN Resolution's Impact On Myanmar

The 15-nation Security Council, under India's Presidency this month, adopted its first-ever resolution on Myanmar on Wednesday.

India has said that it is "still not convinced" about the impact the UN Security Council resolution would have in making progress towards resolving the long-standing issues in Myanmar, including an immediate end to violence in the neighbouring country and the release of political prisoners like Aung San Suu Kyi.

The 15-nation Security Council, under India's Presidency this month, adopted its first-ever resolution on Myanmar on Wednesday.

The resolution reiterated the call by the 15-member Council for the country to uphold democratic institutions and respect human rights.

Twelve members voted in favour, none against, while India, China and Russia abstained.
