Letters to the Permanent Representatives to the United Nations

(September 2010)

Date: September, 2010

To:
His/Her Excellency (full name)
(country) Permanent Representative to the United Nations
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,
