United Nations urges the world to ramp up the pressure on Myanmar's junta to halt violence against the country's own people and quickly restore civilian rule
UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said the world's response has so far been ineffective and delayed, calling on governments and businesses to urgently act to"commensurate to the magnitude of the crisis".
One year on since the military seized power, UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said on Friday that the country's people had paid a high price in terms of lives and freedoms lost. The former Chilean president said the UN Security Council and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations had not done enough to convince the junta to facilitate humanitarian access.Myanmar's military seized power on February 1 last year, ousting the civilian government and arresting its de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.
Bachelet said the current crisis was built upon the impunity with which the military leadership waged a campaign of violence against the Rohingya minority four years ago.
