The Karen Community Worldwide welcomed the UN report calling for the Burma military to be referred to the International Criminal Court to be investigated for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed against the country’s ethnic people.
The Karen Community Worldwide pointed out in their statement, endorsed by 36 Karen organisations, that the UN report also validates their repeatedly raised concerns that it is not yet safe for Karen refugees and IDPs to return to their homes, as the Burma Army continues to commit systematic crimes with impunity.
