Ban Ki-moon – Go To Burma!
Email UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon now calling on him to go to Burma.
On Monday 10th March the UN Envoy to Burma, Ibrahim Gambari, left Burma empty handed after the regime rejected every proposal he made for restoring democracy in Burma.
It was the 35th visit to Burma by a UN envoy in the past 18 years, and there has not been a single reform to show for any of them. In fact, the human rights situation has got much worse.
We can’t have another 18 years of suffering in Burma, another 18 years of torture, rape and ethnic cleansing.
It is time the UN woke up to the fact that this regime has been lying to UN envoys for almost two decades. It does not want reform and it is not interested in democracy.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon should take over the process. He should have the backing of a binding Security Council resolution, which under international law will force the regime to reform.
Take action here.
Thank you
