The UN’s approach to the Myanmar crisis, including the actions of the new Special Envoy, Julie Bishop, is fundamentally flawed and dangerously ineffective. The international community's continued reliance on "impartial" diplomacy, including meetings with Myanmar's brutal military junta, risks legitimizing the perpetrators of atrocities and undermines the genuine efforts of the Myanmar people fighting for freedom and justice. The UN must move beyond empty rhetoric and urgently support the people's revolution for a federal democracy, holding the junta accountable for its crimes and prioritizing human rights over political expediency.

The international community holds the tools to incapacitate the military junta and save the lives of Myanmar’s peoples. It’s high time for the world to impose a targeted embargo on arms, aviation fuel, aircraft, and other dual-use goods to the Myanmar military.
