Albornoz. Salazar said Mexico has a team of two Human Rights
Officers assigned permanently to its UN Mission in New York
and that a Mexican representative would be present for any
votes conducted on UNGA resolutions the week of December 17.
Mexico voted in the Third Committee in favor of resolutions
condemning the human rights situation in Burma, Iran and
North Korea but had abstained on the resolution on Belarus.
Salazar signaled Mexico intended to vote the same way on the
UNGA resolutions.
