Venezuela absent from the vote? Not a good look my dude
They literally can’t vote because of the US sanctions against them preventing them from collecting the funds to pay UN fees. They’ve been suspended from voting for a couple of years now
Hmmmm, you're under sanctions and cant afford the sanction issuing country club fees? Sorry sweaty, can't help you!
I was being ironic, for any country under as much duress as Venezuela it would make sense why their attendance record wasn't 100%.
Didn't only Moldova abstain or am I missing a joke or something?
Venezuela is non-voting, different from abstain.
Thanks for clearing that up! What's the difference?
Abstain means the country voted "Abstain"
Non-voting means no vote was recorded, probably because the country was not present.
Thank you!
