\ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc 1. Deputy Head of the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) Calls for Five Key Actions Including Support for Myanmar\u2019s Democratic and Ethnic Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deputy Head of the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), Daw Zing Mar Aung<\/strong>, urged the international community to take five key actions<\/strong>, including providing support for Myanmar\u2019s democratic and ethnic groups<\/strong>, during her address at the 151st Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly<\/strong> under the General Debate<\/strong> themed \u201cPromoting Standards of Humanitarian Law and Supporting Humanitarian Efforts in Times of Crisis.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She explained to the delegates that Myanmar is facing one of the gravest humanitarian crises<\/strong> of this era\u2014a man-made conflict<\/strong> caused by the brutality of a single individual<\/strong>, not by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the military coup of February 2021<\/strong>, she said, the junta has been relentlessly waging war against its own citizens. As a result, more than 6,800 civilians have been killed<\/strong>, over 22,000 people arbitrarily detained<\/strong>, and over five million displaced<\/strong> from their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She further reported that numerous villages have been burned to the ground<\/strong>, and schools, hospitals, and religious buildings<\/strong> have been deliberately targeted in airstrikes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Myanmar has suffered natural disasters<\/strong>, such as Cyclone Mocha<\/strong> and the devastating earthquake in March this year<\/strong>, which killed more than 5,300 people<\/strong>. Yet, even during the ceasefire periods, the junta conducted over 600 military operations<\/strong>, showing its utter disregard for humanitarian norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under these circumstances, Daw Zing Mar Aung warned that any elections conducted by the military would only serve to legitimize military rule<\/strong>, further worsening the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She therefore appealed to the IPU to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Officially continue recognizing the CRPH and elected representatives of the Myanmar Parliament<\/strong>, not the junta;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Demand the immediate and unconditional release<\/strong>\u00a0of all political prisoners, including\u00a0State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi<\/strong>,\u00a0President U Win Myint<\/strong>, and detained MPs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Ensure unrestricted humanitarian access<\/strong>\u00a0across all territories in Myanmar;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Impose comprehensive sanctions<\/strong>, including an\u00a0arms embargo and jet fuel ban<\/strong>, against the junta; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Support Myanmar\u2019s democratic and ethnic organizations<\/strong>\u00a0in finding\u00a0practical and peaceful solutions<\/strong>\u00a0to end the ongoing conflict.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udccc\ud83d\udccc 2. Myanmar\u2019s Ambassador to the UN Urges the International Community to Strongly Support Democracy and Human Rights Forces Fighting Dictatorship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    October 23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Myanmar\u2019s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun<\/strong>, urged the international community to firmly support democratic and human rights forces<\/strong> that are working to eradicate dictatorship<\/strong> in Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He made the remarks during an interactive dialogue<\/strong> of the UN Committee on Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Issues (Third Committee)<\/strong> under the theme \u201cExtreme Poverty and Human Rights.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun pointed out that the Special Rapporteur\u2019s report\u2014highlighting how threats to democracy, economic insecurity, and dignity-related concerns have fueled the rise of far-right extremism and democratic backsliding\u2014accurately reflects the reality faced by the people of Myanmar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He explained that since the unlawful military coup in February 2021<\/strong>, the junta\u2019s brutal atrocities against civilians<\/strong> and collapse of the rule of law<\/strong> have plunged Myanmar into severe humanitarian and human rights crises. The widespread suffering of Myanmar\u2019s people, he said, is heartbreaking to anyone who witnesses it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Due to the junta\u2019s violent conduct, more than 3.6 million people<\/strong> have been displaced<\/strong>, and around 22 million<\/strong> are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He further warned that as a result of widespread hunger and extreme poverty<\/strong> caused by the junta\u2019s actions, Myanmar\u2019s people\u2014especially women, girls, and youths<\/strong>\u2014face increasing risks of human trafficking<\/strong> and exploitation in online scams, drug trafficking, and cross-border criminal networks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun reaffirmed that the National Unity Government (NUG)<\/strong> and its allied revolutionary forces<\/strong> are working resolutely to overcome these dire conditions and to ensure unity among Myanmar\u2019s diverse ethnic regions<\/strong>, without division or discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He therefore called on the international community to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
