Description:
Summary:
"This is a key moment in Myanmar?s history and there are real opportunities for
positive and meaningful developments to improve the human rights situation and
deepen the transition to democracy. The new Government has taken a number of
steps towards these ends. Yet, many serious human rights issues remain and they
need to be addressed. The new Government should intensify its efforts to implement
its own commitments and to fulfil its international human rights obligations. The
international community needs to continue to remain engaged and to closely follow
developments. The international community also needs to support and assist the
Government during this important time. The Special Rapporteur reaffirms his
willingness to work constructively and cooperatively with Myanmar to improve the
human rights situation of its people."
