UNITED NATIONS
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations urged the international community Friday to take “concrete action” against the military in Myanmar, calling for steps including an arms embargo and sanctions against its holding companies and those who profit from them.
Saying such action is the only way to change the military’s crackdown on civilians after its Feb. 1 coup, Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the appeal at an informal virtual meeting of the U.N. Security Council. Zin Mar Aung, a leader of a post-coup committee representing elected members of Myanmar’s parliament, urged all U.N. member nations to increase political, financial and security measures against the military “until the military’s violent attacks on civilians stop and Myanmar returns to the rule of law under civilian and democratic rule.”
