As a result of the vote on the 21st, the UN Security Council adopted the resolution with the support of 12 countries, including Europe and the United States.



Russia, China and India abstained.



It is the first time that a resolution on Myanmar has been adopted by the Security Council since the military coup last February.



"Today we have sent a clear message to the Myanmar military and we hope the resolution will be fully implemented," said Woodward, the British ambassador to the United Nations.
