"Minority Rights Group International (MRG) would like to draw the attention of the Commission on Human Rights to the situation of minorities and ethnic nationalities in Burma (Myanmar), in particular, with regard to conflict resolution. MRG recently addressed this issue in detail in the report �Burma (Myanmar): The Time for Change� (Martin Smith, 2002) but would like, here, to focus the attention of the CHR on three specific themes: a) the pressing need for constructive dialogue between all groups, in particular to ensure that any new constitutional set-up for Burma provides for the full and effective participation of all communities; b) the occurrence of gross violations of the human rights of minorities and ethnic nationalities, including sexual abuse of women and forced displacement; c) the situation of refugees from Burma living in neighbouring States..."
