It’s time for the UN Security Council to step up.
It’s time for further action against the Myanmar/Burma military. | On 18 June, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that urged countries to stop the flow of arms into Myanmar. Thank you so much for campaigning for this! But resolutions by the General Assembly are not legally binding. For an arms embargo to be legally enforceable, the UN Security Council must act. As a permanent member, the UK can call on the Security Council to implement a global arms embargo on Myanmar – a crucial step towards deescalating the military’s alarming violence against civilians. So that’s what we’re campaigning and advocating for.
Please join us by writing to the Foreign Secretary again. It’s time for UN Member States to back up their words of condemnation with concerted action. |
