Georgia's policy not to support no-action motions and said
Georgia would always vote against these motions.

human rights records of Burma, Iran, Belarus, and North
Korea, Manjagaladze said Georgia would abstain from voting on
the country specific resolutions on Belarus and Iran but
would support the resolutions on Burma and North Korea.
Poloff again emphasized that the Iran resolution was a top
priority for the United States. On the Belarus resolution,
Manjgaladze explained the vote on Belarus was complicated
because Georgia recently opened an embassy in Belarus and the
