GA 2014-69th Session: Oral Statement by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar

Description: 

This statement supplements the Special Rapporteur?s written report, A/69/398, of 23 September 2014 - http://www.burmalibrary.org/docs19/2014-UNGA69-SRMreport-en.pdf ..... "...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..."
