UN Security Council approves its first-ever resolution on Myanmar, demanding an immediate end to violence and urging the junta to release all “arbitrarily detained” prisoners
The resolution calls on Myanmar's junta to"immediately release all arbitrarily detained prisoners" and end all forms of violence.The UN Security Council has called for Myanmar's junta to release Aung San Suu Kyi as it adopted its first-ever resolution on the situation in the turmoil-ridden Southeast Asian country.
It also demands "an immediate end to all forms of violence" and asks for "all parties to respect human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law." “Any opportunity for the Security Council to speak with one strong, united voice on any issue and especially on Myanmar would be much welcomed,” Dujarric said.The 15-member Council has been split on Myanmar for decades and was only able to agree on formal statements about the country, which has been under military rule since February 2021.
Then in December 2018, Britain made another attempt following the Rohingya crisis that saw 700,000 people flee Myanmar to neighbouring Bangladesh, but a vote was never held.Britain began circulating a draft text of Wednesday's resolution in September. Several amendments were made to ensure its passing, UN watchers say.
Instead, the resolution calls for the secretary general or his envoy to report back by March 15, 2023, in coordination with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations .
