China, Russia pulled out from a United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution on the situation in Myanmar following the military coup on February 1. The resolution calls for the release of detained persons including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint. It was approved by consensus during a special session in Geneva on Friday. 

Myanmar’s ambassador called the document unacceptable after their envoys said they are ‘disassociating’ from the resolution.
