賛成77ヵ国 反対6ヵ国 棄権74ヵ国
圧倒的多数の賛成にてセルビア決議案は承認!(`・ω・´)b
反対した6ヵ国はアメリカ、アルバニアと・・あと何処だと思ったら、南太平洋の4ヶ国(マーシャル諸島、ミクロネシア、ナウル、パラオ)が反対票。
Against: Albania, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Federated States of), Nauru, Palau, United States.
投票棄権で調整していたEUの加盟国からは、ルーマニア、スロバキア、スペイン、ギリシャ、キプロスが賛成票。メキシコに続いて賛成の口火を切ったルーマニア代表の演説には痺れたぞ。(^−^)
アルバニアはコソボと同じ民族だから反対もしょうがないとしても、アメリカ(反対)、イギリス、フランス(棄権)あたりはウザ過ぎ。
これは政治的な決議だとか、コソボ独立は48ヵ国も承認してる既成事実だから勧告は不要とか、バルカン半島の不安定化につながるだの、屁理屈こねまくり。我が国は国際法及びICJを支持すると言いながら、ICJ勧告は不要、決議案に反対ってのはどう考えても説得力がない。見苦しい(笑)
総会議場のマイクと投票システムの壊れっぷりも酷い。他の国の席の壊れてないマイクを探して発言とか、おかしいだろ。国連加盟国が負担金を払わないから、壊れたままですというアピール目的でワザとやってるのか?(笑)
UN World Court to give opinion on legality of Kosovo’s independence(UN News Centre)
---------------------------------
8 October 2008 - The General Assembly voted today to ask the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for a non-binding advisory opinion on the legality of Kosovo’s declaration of independence from Serbia.
At UN Headquarters, 77 Member States voted in favour of the resolution – which was put forward by Serbia – and six voted against, with 74 abstentions.

UN seeks World Court Kosovo view(BBC)
---------------------------------
Many countries who voted in favour said this was not a political decision but a legal one, and every state had a right to ask the court for an opinion.
Most EU countries abstained - Britain called Serbia's request primarily political. But the EU was split, with Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Greece and Cyprus voting in favour. They all said international law should be respected.
It could take up to two years for the court to issue its opinion.

Serbia Wins Bid to Review Independence of Kosovo(NYT)
---------------------------------
The case of Kosovo’s independence will be particularly difficult. While international law recognizes certain formal steps toward independence by former colonies in places like Africa or Latin America, there are no similar guidelines for secession in more established regions like Europe, said Nicolas Burniat, a lawyer who worked for the court for six years and is now with Human Rights First, a nonprofit group that works for human rights.
European states could not reach a consensus because several members with separatist tensions of their own, like Spain and Cyprus, want to hear how the court might rule. South Africa noted that while 48 countries had recognized Kosovo, 144 had not, meaning there were plenty of nations that might be influenced by the court’s opinion.
