A Special Message to the United Nations Security Council

on Burma's Predicament

 

1.      To establish democracy and human rights in Burma has been and is the main objective of the National League for Democracy. Therefore it has and will always welcome any movement or activity that is initiated or proposed which will overcome the problems the country is facing and which will eventually change the system of government to a democracy.

2.          The fair and upright report initiated by Czech ex-President Vaclav Havel and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu make no mention of the use of force or sanctions against Burma. Motivated by concern for stability in the region, it recommends peaceful negotiations through dialogue.

3.          Therefore we make this request to the five countries invested with veto powers, viz. Britain, China, France, Russia and the UnitedStates of America and all the other Security Council member countries viz. Algeria, Argentina, Benin, Brazil, Denmark, Greece, Japan, Philippines, Rumania and Tanzania t-o refrain from making any objections to the genuine and honest report submitted by the two honorable and respected world figures. We especially urge you all who cherish peace to cooperate and work together to alleviate the sufferings of the people of Burma.
