We—206 Myanmar, regional, and international civil society organizations—call on the Member States of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to adopt a resolution that categorically rejects the Myanmar military junta’s sham election and explicitly supports the Myanmar people’s ongoing efforts to establish bottom-up federal democracy. In this vein, we urge the UNGA to ensure that Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun retains his credentials as the Permanent Representative of Myanmar. We also urge the UNGA to end the mandate of the Special Envoy on Myanmar, and the Secretary-General to immediately assume a leadership role in addressing the crisis.

Rohingya in Rakhine State are being deliberately starved to death as they suffer from genocidal policies imposed by the Burmese military, detailed in a new report, ‘Starving to death: the latest phase of the Rohingya genocide’, by the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK.
