Yes participation is voluntary but refusing to participate does show the true face of the state. Only really bad actors refuse to work together for the greater good. Even some normally seen as bad actors do participate so it is truly telling when a country refuse. Not that it makes much difference but one can hope sanctions will be agreed upon against those who refuse - or more political correct: bonuses for those that participate.
