"The case of Myanmar will be an immediate test for the Human Rights
Council's resolve to address such serious situations. Two of its
members, Indonesia and Russia, which are also members of the Security
Council, told the Security Council on January 12, 2007, that they
favored action on Myanmar in the Human Rights Council after both
countries failed to vote for a Security Council resolution that would
have called for the release of all political prisoners in Myanmar. (In
the Security Council vote, Russia vetoed the resolution and Indonesia
abstained.)"
