Washington: The United States has said there
would be no repercussions for countries which abstained from the UN Security Council vote against Libya.
"No," the State Department spokesman, Mark Toner, said
when specifically asked if there would be any repercussions
for countries which abstained from the UN Security Council
resolution that imposed no-fly-zone over Libya.
Besides two veto-wielding members, China and Russia,
three non-permanent members India, Brazil and Germany abstained from voting.
