The Republic of the Union of Myanmar, as represented by the National Unity Government, welcomes the High Commissioner\u2019s oral update on Myanmar at HRC55.<\/p>

We remain deeply grateful to High Commissioner T\u00fcrk for OHCHR\u2019s dedicated efforts to push Myanmar to the front of the international community\u2019s mind.<\/span><\/p>

Describing Myanmar\u2019s human rights situation as a \u201cnever-ending nightmare, away from the spotlight of global politics\u201d, the High Commissioner\u2019s demand for international action could not have been clearer:<\/p>

For the last three years, people in Myanmar have sacrificed everything, and kept alive their aspirations for a better and safer future. They need the entire international community to support them\u2026<\/em><\/p>

\u2026 I call for a new approach by ASEAN and States with influence to engage all actors, including the<\/em> National Unity Government, ethnic organizations and the broader civil society.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

The High Commissioner\u2019s oral update also lays bare the illegal military junta\u2019s escalating, terrifying and dehumanising atrocity crimes. Among these are airstrikes, artillery attacks and naval shelling against populated civilian areas; the junta\u2019s systematic and widespread torture of political detainees, hundreds of whom have died in custody; and its movement restrictions and withholding of humanitarian aid to increase the suffering of millions of people.<\/p>

Desperate as it loses territory, troops and morale, the junta will plunge to any depth to ensure its own survival. Recent months have seen appalling acts of brutality, including the burning alive of two captured Revolutionary Force members by a pro-junta Pyu Saw Htee <\/em>militia. Local villagers were forced to watch.<\/p>

Now, the junta wants to forcibly conscript young women and men to fight in its horrific war against its own people. This act of collective punishment aims to destroy new generations of Myanmar youth and will trigger massive population movements as young people flee to safety and to join the Spring Revolution\u2019s ranks.<\/p>

At the same time, resumed conflict in Rakhine State has compelled the High Commissioner to \u201cring the alarm bells\u201d as spiralling violence threatens new purges against the Rohingya.<\/p>

Myanmar fully supports the High Commissioner\u2019s calls for:<\/p>
