During the negotiations the delegations have divided into two main camps on the issue of Myanmar. The delegations from China, Indonesia and Russia runs a tight ship on the issue and repeatadly states that all forms of sanctions will not have any positive effects and that they will not support any resolution that contains sanctions.
The biggest supporter of the idea of sanctions, France is hard pressed on the issue and have only partly support from the other delegations who accepts the possibility of sanctions but makes reservations on the effect on the civil society in Myanmar. These delegations include United Kingdom, United States, Belgium, Italy and Panama, however, this side are not yet as coordinated and Russia could be claimed to be the main player in the discussions.
