India rectified its vote on the anti death penalty...

India rectified its vote on the anti death penalty resolution approved by the UN Commission on Human Rights, changing its stance from voting against to abstaining.
The change came following the intervention in Geneva of a Hands Off Cain delegation which reminded the Indian delegation of their country's voting pattern in previous years (it had always abstained) and the assurances given by Vice Foreign Minister Deepa Wadhwa that his country would also abstain in the 2004 vote.
India rectified its vote against by sending a note to the Secretariat of the Human Rights Commission informing them of their abstention.
The final result of the voting on the resolution was thus 28 votes in favour, 19 against and 6 abstentions.
