Dear Mr./Madam Ambassador:
A formal inquiry into the blatant human rights violations in military-ruled Burma is long overdue. Therefore, we welcome U.N. Special Rapporteur Tomás Ojea Quintana’s call for the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry into Crimes Against Humanity in the country.
The measure recommended by Mr. Quintana met with support from the Obama administration and U.S. House and Senate leaders. In a letter delivered to the Secretary of State, 32 senators wrote:
Indeed, a number of reports have documented a consistent pattern of human rights abuses by the regime in Burma which must be addressed: the use of child soldiers, the destruction of villages and the displacement of ethnic minorities, the use of rape as a weapon of war, extrajudicial killings, forced relocation, and forced labor.
These abuses have been exacerbated by the regime’s intention to hold elections in 2010 based on a constitution which disallows the full participation of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the National League for Democracy, political prisoners, religious clergy and ethnic nationalities.
The extension of U.S. sanctions against Burma that President Obama recently signed into law is appropriate, as the administration’s constructive engagement with Burma’s military regime has so far produced little or no democratic reform.
As heads of Burma’s State Peace and Development Council, General Than Shwe and senior leaders of the Burmese Army are known to have personally directed human rights abuses against civilians.
Therefore, we seek your support in
(1) establishing the U.N. Commission of Inquiry recommended by Mr. Quintana;
(2) calling for an Internal War Crimes Tribunal against General Than Shwe and his colleagues if the inquiry reveals violations;
(3) denouncing the results of the upcoming election in Burma organized by the current regime.
Sincerely Yours,

“I also count on your support in encouraging Myanmar’s engagement with my good offices,” he told annual gathering at UN Headquarters of foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
“The UN and ASEAN share the aim of stability and development in Myanmar. We agree on the critical need for a democratic transition and national reconciliation, and for ensuring free, fair and inclusive elections.
“Failure to meet these expectations could undermine the credibility of the process – which, in turn, could reflect on ASEAN’s collective values and principles. At the same time, we must also help Myanmar, so that they can address these humanitarian and development challenges.”
Last week Mr. Ban voiced concern at the decision by Myanmar’s Election Commission to dissolve 10 political parties, including the National League for Democracy (NLD) and called on the authorities to ensure that November’s elections are fully inclusive.
In August he called on the authorities to release all remaining political prisoners so that they could fully participate in Myanmar’s political life in the polls – the country’s first in 20 years – which are due to be held on 7 November.
Apart from Myanmar, Mr. Ban addressed four other issues with the ministers, beginning with the anti-poverty Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), noting that ASEAN members have been among the most successful in meeting the targets on poverty, child health and education, but that there are wide disparities between and within countries, with progress on child mortality being particularly slow.
Secondly, he commended ASEAN for establishing commissions on human rights and the promotion of the rights of women and children, adding that the UN stands ready to assist the association in strengthening its regional human rights mechanisms.
Thirdly, he called for more effective cooperation on peace and security by working together in concrete areas such as conflict prevention and peacekeeping. Finally he lauded the Secretariat-to-Secretariat cooperation and partnership between the two organizations, citing the joint work on humanitarian relief after Cyclone Nargis devastated Myanmar in 2008 as “a great success and an excellent example.”
ASEAN holds the meeting each year in conjunction with the opening of the General Assembly’s main session.

New York, 24 September 2010 – Secretary-General’s Remarks at the United Nations-ASEAN Ministerial Meeting
Thank you very much Minister Pham Gia Khiem, Distinguished Foreign Ministers of ASEAN,
Secretary-General of ASEAN, Dear colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to meet again.
First of all, I’d like to apologize most sincerely for being late. There was an unavoidable situation. I am just coming from the middle of this High-level Summit Meeting on Sudan. I thought that it would take just one hour. Yesterday, I negotiated with them for an extension of half an hour. It has been two hours and I think that they will need another two hours in there. Including President Obama, there are fifteen heads of State and many ministers attending, so this was quite important.
Of course, I am here to talk about how we can strengthen our partnership between ASEAN and the United Nations. I am very much grateful for all your strong support and cooperation. I’d like to also thank the President of the General Assembly for his strong support and leadership. In addition to so many global agendas, he is also paying special attention to the ASEAN and UN relationship.
Thank you very much again; I am very glad to see old colleagues and friends here.
When it comes to ASEAN and the United Nations relationship, first of all, we are very close partners. We all have shared visions and agendas.
In that regard, I would like to address five areas in particular where the United Nations and ASEAN can work together: the MDGs, human rights, cooperation on peace and security, Myanmar, and partnership between our Secretariats.
I am sorry that I have to specifically have one visional issue among ten ASEAN countries, but this has become somewhat of a common concern among all issues.
First, the Millennium Development Goals. As I told the MDGs Summit earlier this week, despite multiple crises, there has been significant progress.
ASEAN members have been some of the most successful in meeting the goals on poverty, child health and education.
But as in other regions, there are wide disparities between and within countries, and in the ASEAN region, progress on child mortality is particularly slow. I urge ASEAN countries to take advantage of the opportunities offered by our newly launched Global Strategy on Women’s and Children’s Health, and to step up their efforts towards all the goals. Among many side events and commitments, this Global Strategy on Women’s and Children’s Health has been one of the most successful ones. I think it has been one of the highlights of our successes during this Summit meeting.
I also urge those countries that are in a position to offer expertise or financial assistance to show solidarity with those in need.
Second, human rights. I commend ASEAN for establishing the Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights and the Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children. This is an important first step towards strengthening a viable culture of respect for human rights.
The United Nations, and in particular the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, stands ready to assist ASEAN in strengthening its regional human rights mechanisms.
Third, cooperation on peace and security. We should identify ways to work together more effectively in concrete areas, including conflict prevention and peacekeeping. This would boost the region’s ability to contribute to peace efforts, locally and around the world.
Fourth, let me turn now to Myanmar.
The UN and ASEAN share the aim of stability and development in Myanmar. We agree on the critical need for a democratic transition and national reconciliation, and for ensuring free, fair and inclusive elections.
Failure to meet these expectations could undermine the credibility of the process – which, in turn, could reflect on ASEAN’s collective values and principles. At the same time, we must also help Myanmar, so that they can address these humanitarian and development challenges.
With ASEAN’s support, I am committed to continue working with the Government and people of Myanmar to enable a successful transition to civilian and democratic rule. I also count on your support in encouraging Myanmar‘s engagement with my good offices.
Finally, Secretariat-to-Secretariat cooperation and partnership. Our joint work on humanitarian relief after cyclone Nargis was a great success and an excellent example and I’d like to thank Secretary-General Pitsuwan for his leadership.
As you know, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2007. We must now carry this forward, and translate it into a joint strategy for further enhancing cooperation to address global and regional issues. I look forward to further progress on this at the UN-ASEAN summit scheduled next month in Viet Nam and I am really looking forward to my visit and having meeting with leaders and yourselves in October.
Thank you all for your support and commitment to our joint goals.
I look forward to strengthening our partnership across this agenda.
Thank you very much.

UNSG’s responds:Ban calls for regional support in seeking democratic transition
24 September 2010 – Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today assured South-East Asian nations of his commitment to seeking a successful transition to civilian and democratic rule in Myanmar.“I also count on your support in encouraging Myanmar’s engagement with my good offices,” he told annual gathering at UN Headquarters of foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
