It's a troubling decision... I can understand it, since the investigation needs to be conducted without interference... and in that case, the UK should ideally be excluded too (but that would be hard to do).
I do not believe that the Brits have furnished enough evidence as of yet, to justify the stance that they have pushed Globally. Something is amiss, and only time will tell.... assuming we're all here to talk about it.

The abstainers didn't vote for the Russian proposal either, try not to be so one-sided in your thinking.

Burning Bush, the take home message from the abstainers is that they don’t want to be involved. Those with an opinion have made it clear.

That was probably due to the Russian proposal for a joint investigation actually being a perverse attempt to escape blame for the poisoning of the Skripals, and because it is part of a disinformation campaign mounted by Moscow (aka Putin).

17 countries sent a message to Putin/Russia that they don't support this proposal.

Sergei Skripal and his daughter are Russian citizens. That is why the investigation should be joint.
