India believes that, although concerned that it could be a cover up for a long range missile test, it is North Korea's right as a sovereign country to attempt to launch a satellite, provided that no other countries are unwillingly affected.

It also asks what must North Korea do to stop being sanctioned? It seems as if other countries are happy with the existence of North Korea as long as they become exactly like them.

We the US continue to support this resolution and stand by Japan in our resolve.
Poll is up!
I have added a vote of "Abstain" on behalf of the representative for Russia who is currently absent.
The vote has failed because of a veto
