A special of Myanmar to the UN has accepted that the harsh stance to be taken might not be agreed with everyone after all. As the first measure, a strict instruction has been sent to countries like Russia and China to stop sale of arms and ammunitions to the junta.
The military has stripped the country of any semblance of peace and
democracy killed since February 01, when it called in for military rule and put
the whole parliament under house arrest. According to Dr. Sasa, it is high time that we
had “immediately international targeted, coordinated, tougher sanctions, both economically
and diplomatically.”
The strongest message possible has to communicate that crime against
humanity is not to be tolerated, added by Dr. Sasa in a statement ahead of the
UN Security Council virtual meeting.
Countries around the world have condemned the violence, while the U.S.
and Europe have sanctioned individuals or companies related to the military. Further,
the military is taking money from national companies to buy bullets and weapons.
Dr. Sasa has added that such economic restrictions like those implied by the US
and Europe would mean less money, fewer weapons and fewer deaths of civilians.
Russia and China has shamelessly been selling arms to Burmese
generals; at the expense of 54 million people being terrorized under a military
rule. Dr. Sasa, had communicated that in fact both Moscow and Beijing have in
their power to stop this violence and that is what they should really be
concentrating on.
It seems that some emotional turmoil is at hand, that the military has
prolonged its control over the country of Myanmar. In order to soften the blow to an emotional
side, China and Russia, along with India and Vietnam, have helped to soften the
United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) criticism of the Myanmar military
regime. They requested that a UNSC statement remove references to a coup and
the threat of further action.
