A key U.N. committee overwhelmingly approved a resolution on Thursday, November 16th calling on Myanmar's authorities to end military operations against Rohingya Muslims, ensure their voluntary return from Bangladesh and grant them "full citizenship rights." The General Assembly's human rights committee approved the resolution by a vote of 135-10, with 26 abstentions. Those voting "no" included Myanmar's close neighbor China as well as Russia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Laos. The resolution now goes to the 193-member General Assembly for a final vote in December where its approval is virtually certain.
