Fifty-seventh session
Agenda item 109 (c)
Summary:
"The present report is based upon the good offices undertaken by the Secretary-
General and his Special Envoy, Razali Ismail, to facilitate national reconciliation and
democratization in Myanmar, in accordance with General Assembly resolution
56/231 of 24 December 2001. The discussions that the Secretary-General and his
Special Envoy have had separately with the Myanmar authorities during the reporting
period have focused on the issue of how the United Nations, which has been
facilitating the confidence-building talks that started between the Government and
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in October 2000, can be of assistance in moving these
discussions towards a more substantive dialogue. Some significant developments
have taken place, including the restoration of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi?s freedom of
movement on 6 May. However, substantive dialogue between the Government and
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has not started yet. Concerned that the positive momentum
generated since this spring will be lost unless some tangible progress is made in the
near future, the Secretary-General reiterates his call on the Government and Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi to set aside their differences, unite for the larger cause of national
reconciliation and start their political dialogue as soon as possible so that a national
reconciliation acceptable to all interested parties in Myanmar can be achieved at an
early date.
* The present report is being submitted on 16 October 2002 so as to include as much up-to-date
information as possible..."
