The testimony of Rohingya survivors in the historic genocide case against Myanmar enabled the ICJ to focus on what matters most - the Rohingya men, women and children who were viciously attacked by the Myanmar military. I am so grateful for their courage. x.com/UN_SPExperts/s…

Five years after a military coup, the people of Myanmar need to know that they are not alone in their fight for justice, democracy and human rights. The best way to show it is with ACTION. x.com/UN_SPExperts/s…

On the fifth anniversary of the military coup in #Myanmar, UN expert @RapporteurUn urges the int'l community to deny the junta what it needs to sustain its violence: money, weapons and legitimacy. The people of Myanmar deserve nothing less. Full statement: ohchr.org/sites/default/…

Only an illegitimate government can emerge from an illegitimate election. As Myanmar's election ends, the world must reject it as fraudulent while rejecting what follows as simply military rule in civilian clothing. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

The results of the first round of voting in Myanmar are in and they are conclusive: the junta's orchestrated attempt to mimic a free and fair election has failed and should be roundly rejected by the intl community. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

The international community must strongly reject the military junta's theatre of the absurd "election" that is underway right now in Myanmar. Nothing legitimate can emerge from this farcical, illegitimate exercise.

URGENT: Tom Andrews @RapporteurUn urges governments to reject sham polls in #Myanmar as junta ratchets up coercion of citizens to vote. Warns election starting 28 December is engineered to manufacture a façade of legitimacy.

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I salute the courage and tenacity of Myanmar disability-rights advocates who are working to lift the physical and attitudinal barriers that are the greatest disabler of persons with disabilities. ohchr.org/en/documents/t…

The Trump admin's rationale for terminating Temp. Protected Status for Burma is inconsistent with both the facts and its own assessments. While DHS cited improvements in stability, the US told the UN that "violence and instability have only worsened."

The latest act of depravity by the military junta of Myanmar - the murder of dozens of participants in a prayer ceremony - begs the question: How many more unconscionable acts will it take for those who continue to support and enable the junta to finally decide to stop?

As the Myanmar military junta attacks civilians with weapons of war, the US is lifting sanctions against those who are providing these weapons. This is unconscionable and a major step backward for efforts to save innocent lives. I strongly urge the US to change course.

The Malaysian FM told his ASEAN colleagues that "peace, trust and inclusivity" must be the foundation for a meaningful election in Myanmar. It is indisputable that such a foundation does not exist. What the junta alleges will be an "election" will in fact be a dangerous fraud.

The Malaysian FM asked reporters in Kuala Lumpur - about the point of having an election in Myanmar "if it is all just a whitewash to cover up the eyes of the international community?" Exactly. I urge ASEAN to stop the whitewash by rejecting the junta's so-called "election".

I am outraged by credible reports that Rohingya refugees were cast off an Indian naval vessel into the Andaman Sea last week and have launched an inquiry into such unconscionable acts. I implore Indian authorities to refrain from life threatening treatment of Rohingya refugees.

While calls to extend a non-existent ceasefire are well meaning, they will not stop the Myanmar military junta's relentless attacks on civilians. Cutting off their supply of weapons and weapons materials will. For the people of Myanmar, action speaks louder than words.
