The United Nations General Assembly Sixth Committee, which deals with legal matters, on Wednesday adopted a resolution urging the United States to promptly issue visas to delegates and to abolish all remaining travel restrictions imposed on diplomats coming to work at the UN headquarters in New York
The decision to adopt the draft resolution, sponsored by Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Costa Rica and Cote d'Ivoire, was taken by consensus, with no formal vote.
The United States failed to issues visas to allow 18 Russian diplomats to participate in this year's meetings of the UN General Assembly First and Sixth Committees, which deal with disarmament and international security and legal matters, respectively.
