Hello. Where to find how countries voted on this specific resolution? (i.e. which document and vote tally on the CITES website refers to this resolution). Thank you.
Replying to @IPBES @CITES
the @IISD_ENB reported that the vote on requiem shark was 88 for,29 against,17 abstain. so 88 for and 46 against or not voting. so only 134 voting. @hbriggs we don't understand your math? @BBCWorld
