Fixed background at work B-)

"Live Broadcast currently suspended" ..... and for several hours.

How long does it take to count 21 Votes??? Or did I miss the result of the Japan v Korea secret ballot???? if so what was it please??

3B adopted without amendment ... so it looks as if Japan withdrew or lost???

So complicated..... It appears that Korea did NOT get what it wanted (which was for Japan to be shown up as not having carried out what it promised -but, with all the hassle of votes and publicity etc perhaps it did actually achieve a minor discomfiture of Janan??? As much as it was ever likely to achieve and something to "bank" for raising next year???)......and is somewhat unappy generally with its lack of support at UNESCO on this matter of Japan's "failure" to publicly achnowledge its past treatment of Korea(ns)
"At the 47th meeting of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Paris, France on the morning of the 7th (local time), it was discussed whether to formally adopt the agenda of "Evaluation of the Implementation of the Committee's Decisions" related to the Meiji Industrial Heritage, which was previously put on the "provisional agenda."
The representative of the Korean side explained the reason for the proposal to the effect that Japan's lackluster measures should be reviewed at this year's committee meeting.
However, Japan objected to the proposal, saying that it should be discussed at the bilateral level rather than the committee, and submitted an "amendment" that removed the proposal, which South Korea said was unacceptable and asked for a vote.
The vote was conducted by secret ballot of the 21 member states, and Japan's amendment was approved by a vote of 7 in favor and 3 against."
