Our call for the EU to continue the UN General Assembly resolution on human rights in Burma is covered by the Myanmar Times:
Pressure is growing on the European Union to again table a UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolution critical of Myanmar’s human rights record, after the EU signalled last week that the 28-nation bloc was dropping the motion for the first time in a quarter century.
“Only one of the 17 different calls for action to improve human rights made in last year’s resolution has been met,” the European Burma Network, a coalition of nine groups across six European countries, said in a statement yesterday.
