"...In my report I recognize the important gains made through Myanmar?s reform process to
date. I commend the initial reforms that have undoubtedly improved the political, economic,
social and human rights landscape in the three years since the establishment of the new
Government. Yet, there are signs of possible backtracking which, if not addressed, could
undermine Myanmar?s efforts to take its rightful place as a responsible member of the
international community that respects and protects
human rights. I urge the Government of
Myanmar to continue its partnership with the international community to ensure that human
rights lie at the foundation of its democratic transition..."
