"The Republic of the Union of Myanmar, as represented by the National Unity
Government, welcomes the adoption of resolution on the “Situation of Human Rights
of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar" on 16 November 2022 at the
Third Committee of the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Myanmar extends its appreciation to the member states of the European Union and
the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation for their continued leadership on this
resolution.
The resolution maintains a much needed focus on the Rohingya and other
minorities and condemns in the strongest terms the grave violations, past and
continuing, perpetrated against them by the security and armed forces of Myanmar -
now at the direction of the illegal military junta. Importantly, the resolution reaffirms
the fundamental rights of the Rohingya and other minorities.
While restating its continued commitment to implementation of the policy
position on Rohingya issued by the National Unity Government in June 2021,
Myanmar also supports the recommendations contained in the resolution and will act
on them accordingly. Further, Myanmar will continue to cooperate with all relevant
stakeholders and the international community including the UN Special Envoy, the
IIMM, the Special Rapporteur on Myanmar, and other special procedures mandate
holders.
The resolution also acknowledges that the illegal military junta’s large scale
and widespread atrocities now impact all people in Myanmar. It catalogues junta
crimes such as arbitrary detention, politically-motivated convictions, extrajudicial
executions and killings, torture, and sexual and gender-based violence directed
against civilians including doctors, teachers, students, artists and journalists.
The resolution however stops far short of demanding that the junta be held
accountable for its atrocities, for its assault on democracy and human rights, for
triggering a grave humanitarian crisis, and for threatening regional peace and
security. It also fails to demand an arms embargo targeting the junta’s escalating
aerial and artillery attacks, which continue to see schools and public gatherings
bombed, villages razed, and cross-border incursions.
The National Unity Government of Myanmar is of the view that the General
Assembly should therefore complement the current resolution with another one
during this session, run concurrently, that more fully addresses the scale, gravity and
impact of the junta’s actions on all of Myanmar’s peoples and on the region. This
new text should also direct stronger asks to the international community aimed at
protecting all communities, advancing the people’s democratic will, and dismantling
the criminal junta..."
