UN has failed to call for arms worldwide against Myanmar | United Nations News

The UN General Assembly has stopped calling for Myanmar’s war to be banned worldwide, although it has played a key role in urging member states to “restrict the flow of arms” into a country rife with violence following the February 1 attack.

The decision to criticize the government also demanded that the military “permanently end the violence against protesters in a peaceful manner.”

It was approved on Friday by 119 countries, while 36 refused to include China, Myanmar’s main ally. Only one country, Belarus, voted. Sponsored by 50 countries.

“We must work for the protection of all human rights, including the right to freedom of expression, access to information and peace, which has been repeatedly violated by the Myanmar military,” said Volkan Bozkir, Turkey’s 75th UN General Assembly President.

At the conference, Christine Schraner Burgener, the UN special envoy to Myanmar, also warned the 193-member organization that “the threat of civil war is real” in the country.

“Time is of the essence. The chances of a change in the capture of the military are dwindling, “the Schraner Burgener General Assembly agreed.

Hundreds of refugees are fleeing violence the country following conflicts between the military and the nations.

The vote came the same day The Security Council held a formal meeting in Southeast Asia to discuss the situation, when the military ousted military leader Aung San Suu Kyi in February.

The vote was not held unanimously, as they had hoped, but through a vote, to force all 193 UN member states to express their views.

On several previous occasions, Myanmar’s envoy to the international organization, Kyaw Moe Tun, voted in favor of the statement. He vehemently denied the rebels and ignored the military’s claim that he no longer represented Myanmar. The United Nations still views him as a legitimate representative.

After the vote, the ambassador lamented that it took three months for Parliament to approve the decision and that it did not explicitly state military sanctions.

“The military is still working with its twists and turns,” he said, “ignoring calls for an end to violence,” he said.

“People inside and outside the country are determined to break the law illegally and restore democracy.”

‘Often’ moves

Among the countries he left behind were Russia, Mali – before the second world war ended last year, Iran, Egypt, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.

The UN General Assembly does not make decisions to condemn invaders or to impose restrictions on weapons provided in the country under review.

“It is the most serious and popular criticism in the world in Myanmar to this day,” said Olof Skoog, the European Union’s ambassador to the UN.

“The EU is proud of the decision taken by the UN High Court. It sends a powerful and powerful message. “It empowers the military, condemns the atrocities and atrocities committed against its people and shows that it is isolating itself from the eyes of the world,” he said.

The election also calls for the restoration of democracy in Myanmar, and the release of all imprisoned leaders.

“We really need to establish the principles for democracy,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, before voting on the resolution, expecting a “clear message” from the General Assembly.

‘Practice openly’

It asks implementing a five-point plan developed by ASEAN in April including mention of delegates from the bloc.

The text also calls on the military to allow the UN envoy, Burgener, to visit the country and to help people in need.

Burgener told the Security Council at their closing meeting in Myanmar on Friday. No unanimous statement was received at the meeting due to divisions among its members, ambassadors told AFP.

The Convention’s resolution “calls on UN member states to refrain from supplying weapons to Myanmar,” said Human Rights Watch.

“Months of brutality and brutal harassment by junta security forces have repeatedly shown why the government should not send a single bullet. The UN Security Council must now have the courage to issue a resolution calling for Myanmar’s international arms embargo,” Louis said. Charbonneau, UN chief at HRW.

The ruling is an opportunity to “show that the world is connected to the people of Myanmar, not to the military” who “have committed atrocities against civilians,” said British Ambassador to the United Nations Barbara Woodward.

More than 860 people have been killed in Myanmar since the government took action, according to the UN and the Association for Assistance of Political Prisoners (AAPP).

On Friday, two people were killed when a military vehicle exploded in a double bomb blast near the party’s headquarters in Yangon, the country’s largest city. Local journalists said, and the rescue chief said six other people had been injured.

There were also reports of a major fire in Monywa, the largest city in Sagaing province, although the incident was not immediately known.
