Statement from Ambassadors to Myanmar

02.04.2020 — Position Myanmar
On 23 March, the UN Secretary General called for armed groups across the world to implement a global ceasefire. The Ambassadors listed below echo this call. We are deeply concerned about the high level of fighting, casualties and civilian displacement occurring in Rakhine and Chin States, and the threat of further conflict in other areas. The focus of all countries across the world must now be on protecting the most vulnerable communities from the devastating impacts of COVID19. Conflict impedes humanitarian response and prevents assistance to those women, children, disabled, marginalized and displaced who are already the most vulnerable groups during a conflict. Humanitarian access to the conflict areas is vital.

Myanmar ist ein Land im Wandel. Nachdem die Militärregierung 2003 einen Fahrplan zur Demokratie aufgestellt hatte, fanden 2015 in Myanmar nach Jahrzehnten der Militärdiktatur zum ersten Mal freie und demokratische Wahlen statt. Als Siegerin ging die ehemalige Oppositionspartei unter der Führung von Aung San Suu Kyi, die National League for Democracy (NDL), hervor, die heute die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Reformen sowie den Friedensprozess anführt. Das Land steht vor einer politischen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Öffnung, die vielversprechende Perspektiven für die jungen Generationen schafft.
