Local and foreign criticism has been coming out on Dr. Noeleen Heyzer’s first visit to Myanmar with the position of United Nations Special Ambassador. So, is it really necessary to have a UN special diplomatic position?
BBC Burmese interviews Anna Roberts, executive director of Burma Campaign UK, about yet another UN Special Envoy being used by the Burmese military and achieving nothing. She calls on the UN Secretary General to work with UN member states to put pressure on the Burmese military: “Abolish the UN special position that has not worked for decades. UN Secretary-General should handle Myanmar’s affairs by yourself.”
