"The delegation from India suggested that abstentions counted as "No" votes. This is based on the premiss that all treaty members must say yes to get the treaty changed. Chile finds this a little absurd, as an abstention means that said nation does not care one way or the other. The voting should only count the 'yes' or 'no' votes for treaty changes and amendments. And abstain is an abstain and will not stop a change."
