The US just called for a vote on the outcome document of the ESCAP #Beijing+25 Ministerial review. It's absolutely appalling after days of negotiations that they would do this. They were the 1 country that did not agree with 1 para of the outcome. #womenwantsystemschange
China, Pakistan and Russia are imploring them to reconsider. Russia: "It's not characteristic of ESCAP. It jeopardizes the value of the document itself. This also places probably most of the delegations in an uncomfortable position." #Beijing25 #womenwantsystemschange
Russia: "We don't understand the reason for calling for a vote without asking for a vote without telling us the reasons for it. We really would not be in agreement on a vote in this document, we would like it to be adopted by consensus." #Beijing25 #womenwantsystemschange
