UNITED NATIONS, June 17, 2021 (AFP): The UN General Assembly will vote later on Friday in New York, United States on a non-binding resolution condemning the military junta in Myanmar and calling on member states to curb the "flow of arms" into the violence-wracked country, diplomats said.

The vote will come on the same day that the Security Council holds informal talks on the situation in the former Burma, where the military ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1.
