Description:
"The Jubilee Campaign, together with Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), seeks to draw
the Council?s attention to the domestic human rights and religious freedom situation in
Myanmar.
Despite repeated calls for change there has been little evidence for progress in Myanmar
which continues to be one of the foremost violators of human rights in the world. Since the
elections in 2010 there has been a significant increase in the scale and severity of human
rights violations, which include the systematic use of rape as a weapon of war, torture,
forced labour, forced conscription of child soldiers, and extrajudicial killings. The Jubilee
Campaign joins the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Myanmar in calling for a
Commission of Inquiry into these crimes which amount to crimes against humanity and war
crimes...".....Written NGO statement to the 18th Session of UN Human Rights Council.
