Obama era human rights envoy says u n must investigate myanmar

A timely and relevant topic!

You're likely referring to the recent statement made by Tom Malinowski, the former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in the Obama administration. Malinowski has called on the United Nations to investigate the human rights situation in Myanmar (also known as Burma) and to hold those responsible for abuses accountable.

In a statement, Malinowski said: "The UN must investigate the human rights situation in Myanmar, including the military's brutal campaign against the Rohingya and other ethnic and religious minorities. The international community must also hold those responsible for these abuses accountable, including through targeted sanctions and other measures."

Malinowski's statement comes as the situation in Myanmar continues to deteriorate, with reports of ongoing violence, displacement, and human rights abuses against minority groups, including the Rohingya, who have been subjected to a brutal military campaign that has led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.

The UN has already expressed concerns about the situation in Myanmar, with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, calling for an immediate end to the violence and for those responsible to be held accountable. The UN has also called for access to the affected areas to assess the situation and provide humanitarian aid.

Malinowski's statement highlights the need for international action to address the human rights crisis in Myanmar and to hold those responsible accountable. It also underscores the importance of the UN playing a key role in investigating and addressing the situation, as well as providing humanitarian aid and support to those affected.
