Get General Assembly - Burmalibrary

UN Security Council condemns Myanmar military over 'unrelenting violence' Joint statement from 13 members of 15-seat council says generals must stop killing civilians and end the crisis.

Workings of the General Assembly Comprising all Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter of the United Nations. Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote.

Shortly afterwards, the UN adopted a resolution on Myanmar that called for the restoration of democracy, condemned the violence, and pushed for an arms embargo. Additional resolutions denouncing the atrocities have since been adopted by the UN Security Council and the UN Human Rights Council.

The UN failed to mitigate the military's atrocities against the Rohingya. The same cycle of failure in Myanmar has been repeated across the UN system since the coup began. See United Nations, Main Bodies, https://.un.org/en/about-us/main-bodies.

On 24 July 2023, in resolution 53/26, the Human Rights Council reiterated calls for Myanmar, Member States, judicial authorities and private entities to cooperate with the Mechanism in the execution of its mandate and grant it access, including to witnesses.
