The UN’s Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar calls for the Burmese military to face the International Criminal Court, criticises Aung San Suu Kyi for failure to use her position or her moral authority, and chides the UN for its failure to address human rights concerns.
Reporting on Asia-Pacific affairs, the Diplomat says “Yet hitherto, as Mark Farmaner of Burma Campaign UK has pointed out, no world power has come forward to state their acceptance of the Fact-Finding Mission’s recommendations and seek their immediate implementation.”
At the press conference launching the report, Christopher Sidoti of the UN Mission said of the UK’s wish to see the outcome of Burma’s own domestic investigations: “Expecting justice and truth from any Myanmar domestic process is simply naive. There is no will and no capacity.”
