"...Arguing that impunity for horrific violations against the Rohingya in Myanmar is a threat to international peace and security, the head of a human rights fact‑finding mission this afternoon urged the Security Council to ensure accountability for the crimes.
?There can be no moving on from this crisis without addressing its root causes, all of which still exist today — primarily the presence of an unaccountable military that acts with complete impunity,” Marzuki Darusman, Chair of the Independent International Fact‑Finding Mission on Myanmar said as he introduced the 27 August report of the Mission. The Mission was established by the Human Rights Council to ascertain the facts and circumstances of alleged abuses by security forces in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan States since 2011..."

"The United States and eight other countries requested that a UN fact-finding mission that accused Myanmar?s military of atrocities against the Rohingya minority brief the UN Security Council on its findings. The move comes as global pressure mounts on Myanmar to act on accountability after a military crackdown in the western state of Rakhine last year drove some 700,000 of the largely stateless minority over the border into Bangladesh..."

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..."

Summary:
"The present report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of
resolution 1612 (2005). It is presented to the Security Council and its Working Group
on Children and Armed Conflict as the first country report pursuant to paragraphs 2,
3 and 10 of that resolution. The report, which covers the period from July 2005 to
September 2007, provides information on the current situation regarding the
recruitment and use of children and other grave violations being committed against
children affected by armed conflict in the Union of Myanmar. While the monitoring
and reporting structures as outlined in the mechanism endorsed by the Security
Council in its resolution in 1612 (2005) are in place, the modalities of an effective
mechanism, including security guarantees, access to affected areas and freedom of
movement of monitors without Government escort, are lacking. This first report
therefore sets forth the general scope of the situation based on the information
available to the United Nations country task force on monitoring and reporting at the
present time.
Although there has been progress in terms of dialogue with the Government of
Myanmar and two non-State actors, the report notes that State and non-State actors
continue to be implicated in grave child rights violations. The Government of
Myanmar has made a commitment at the highest level that no child under the age of
18 will be recruited. The Government has set up a high-level Committee for the
Prevention of Military Recruitment of Underage Children and a working group for
monitoring and reporting on the same issue. Further, there are Government policies
and directives prohibiting underage recruitment. To date, the Government has not
acceded to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the
involvement of children in armed conflict (2000). Two non-State actors (the Karen
National Union and the Karenni National Progressive Party) have signed Deeds of
Commitment to cease the recruitment and use of children, to declare their adherence
to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and have
committed themselves to appropriate follow-up action. The Government has committed to bringing its current action plan on the
prevention of the recruitment of children into its armed forces, the Tatmadaw Kyi,
into line with international standards and to facilitate action plans with the United
Wa State Army and other non-State actors. The Government of Myanmar has also
recognized the need for the United Nations country task force in Myanmar to engage
the Karen National Union and Karenni National Progressive Party in the
development of action plans and monitor their compliance in accordance with
Security Council resolution 1612 (2005). A principal difficulty with regard to
monitoring grave violations of children?s rights remains the lack of access to some
locations of concern. Access to conflict-affected areas is severely restricted by the
Government, a situation that impacts greatly on monitoring and possible responses to
child rights violations."

"Expected Council Action
The Council expects a briefing from Under Secretary-General for Political Affairs Ibrahim Gambari before the end of the month on his second visit to Myanmar. The briefing is expected to take place in closed informal consultations. A draft US resolution is possible but it may be tabled separately, after the briefing.
Options
The Council?s options are:
• listen to the briefing and question Gambari but take no action;
• respond informally if the US expands on its plans for a resolution;
• agree to discuss any US proposals at the experts level; and
• discuss the alternative of a presidential statement...

China and Russia have previously blocked a US move to put Burma to the UN Security Council, but there is little reason for them to block a similar attempt this time around...
"Much of the attention surrounding the September report by former Czech president Vaclav Havel and 1984 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu concerns its labeling Burma as a greater threat to regional peace than past cases in which the UN Security Council has intervened. While this is an interesting assertion, Burma watchers will find few surprises in the report?s litany of abuses in Burma. We should instead focus on whether the UNSC would actually accept the report?s recommendations. In this respect, the Tutu-Havel report presents a reasonable compromise that could potentially attract sufficient support at least to place Burma on the UNSC agenda and possibly lead to a new consensus on how to handle the recalcitrant generals in Rangoon..."

Description:
A new proposal on Burma would directly involve the UN Security Council...
A round-up of Burmese opinions on the possibility of effective UN action posted by The Irrawaddy on its website a few weeks ago crystallized what many of us have been feeling for some time: The UN may be a paper tiger incapable of bringing change to Burma. Let?s be honest. What has the UN done for Burma lately?...The UN?s three accomplishments—uniting world opinion, injecting a reasonable sense of urgency, and agreeing on a common mechanism for change—are real and not without merit. The problem is that the mechanism needs adjustment. The Burmese regime has had more than a decade to cooperate with the good offices of the UN secretary-general, but it has refused. Ten years of failure is enough to show that the present mechanism is broken.
One positive proposal for fixing this broken mechanism and strengthening the UN?s role in Burma—indeed, the only pro-active proposal—was launched on September 20 by former Czech President Vaclav Havel and 1984 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu. They proposed a UN Security Council resolution that would compel the SPDC to work with the secretary-general. It would also authorize him to report back periodically to the council. Unlike UN General Assembly and Commission on Human Rights resolutions that are unenforceable, the UNSC resolution would be binding. This means that the regime must work with Annan towards national reconciliation—or stand in violation of the UN Charter. In what appears to be a nod towards building an international consensus that all can agree on, Havel and Tutu did not call for sanctions to be applied through the council..."
