UN Security Council meeting on Myanmar, 13 July 2009

Description: 

Debate..."...The President: I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Uganda. I wish to salute the Secretary-General for his briefing and to thank the Permanent Representative of Myanmar for his statement. As the Government of Myanmar pursues its seven-stage road map to democracy, stage five — which relates to next year?s elections — is important, as the elections will contribute significantly to the democratization process in the country. We urge the Government of Myanmar to ensure that the electoral process is free, fair, transparent and inclusive and that all sectors of Myanmar society fully participate. We call on the Government and on all parties to pursue dialogue and reconciliation. In that regard, we call for the unconditional release of all political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi..."
