UN High Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs says response to Myanmar’s crisis ‘does not help’ Political Issues

Michelle Bachelet wants a restoration of civilian rule in the country for about a year since the military took over.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called on world leaders to urge Myanmar’s military authorities to end the atrocities and immediately restore civilian rule.

About a year after the military seized power in the countryThe United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, said the people of the country had paid a high price for the lives and freedom lost.

Mr Bachelet said although there had been long-standing criticism of terrorism and the violence that had taken place, he said the global response was “unhelpful”, noting that “there is no parallel in the magnitude of the problem”.

“The time has come for us to urgently redouble our efforts to restore human rights and democracy in Myanmar and to ensure that human rights abusers and abusers are brought to justice,” he said.

The former Chilean president said the UN Security Council is The Association of Southeast Asia Nations has not done enough attracting criminal leaders to help the people.

Bachelet said he had spoken to Myanmar’s human rights activists who were appealing to the countries not to leave them.

“I urge governments – in the region and beyond – as well as businesses, to heed this request,” said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Myanmar troops seized power on February 1 last year, overthrew civilian government and arrested their leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.

Since the overthrow of the government, a military force has been involved in conflict resolution.

The UN Human Rights Office reports that since the abduction, at least 1,500 people have been displaced he had been killed by the soldiers in an effort to resolve conflicts, while thousands more would be killed in an escalating war of attrition.

About 11,787 people have been arrested for protesting against the military, the office said, of which 8,792 are still in prison.

At least 290 have died in prisons, many probably as a result of torture, it added.

Bachelet said the current problem was due to the lack of discipline in which military leaders participated in the violent campaign against a minority of Rohingya four years ago.

“As long as there is no impunity, settling in Myanmar will be a myth. The military response remains crucial to any future response – people want this,” he said.

The Bachelet office is expected to publish the report in March in detail about Myanmar’s human rights since the conspiracy.

Suffice it to say, 55 million Myanmar people will not be able to afford another year of shaky living and live alongside many governments around the world. “#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/VSVhFma9B7 pic.twitter.com/wC88MkNut8

Meanwhile, following a brief UN briefing on Myanmar on Friday, UN High Commissioner to China Zhang Jun said the UN Security Council’s main objectives in Myanmar should be to prevent further violence and civil war.

Zhang said Beijing welcomed the efforts made Cambodian leader Hun Sen to Myanmarcalling his trip “very good, very fruitful,” and saying “we asked them to keep trying”.

“Some people don’t like that situation [now]”But I think the thing we need to remember is that we need to avoid worsening conditions, prevent more violence, avoid civil war,” Zhang said.

“That’s the main goal we have to have in mind.”

He said China also welcomed the appointment of Noeleen Heyzer as UN special envoy to Myanmar. He is speaking to major parties and has asked to travel to Myanmar, he said, and “let’s wait and see if he can do it”.
