International Organizations Ana Berta confirmed on November

New York to vote with the United States on the

Belarus and voting against the three retaliatory actions

likly issue instructions on Belarus closer to the date of the
actual vote as both the Division for International
Organizations and the Division for Human Rights are
short-staffed due to the Argentine summer transfer season.
