United Kingdom Ambassador Barbara Woodward today (20 Nov) told reporters that in the past three months, Myanmar’s military has launched “the highest volume of airstrikes since the coup in February 2021,” while “over a third of the country's population now needs humanitarian aid to survive.”
Speaking to reporters before closed consultations of the Security Council on Myanmar, Woodward condemned the attacks and saidthe military has used “more improvised explosive devices, landmines and shelling in the past year than in any year since the coup.”
The British representative said, “the military must be held to account. The time for Council action is far overdue,” noting that in September the UK had introduced a draft resolution “urging all parties to stop their violence against civilians, comply with the obligations under IHL and stop supplying weapons and fuel to the military,” while calling for “the full implementation of ASEAN's five point consensus and the scaling up of humanitarian assistance.”
Also talking to reporters, Myanmar Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun said, “the military junta does not stop committing international crimes. Indiscriminate aerial bombings on the civilian populations, torching villages, mass killing of civilians, arbitrary arrests and detention, torture and violence in forms of sexual and gender-based, forced conscription and all atrocities committed and transnational organised crimes fueled by the military junta in the complete absence of rule of law, have been resulting in the enormous suffering of Myanmar people at an unprecedented level.”
Tun said the junta “can commit these heinous crimes, clearly with direct or indirect support of some corners of the international community.”
“In the name of humanity,” he urged Council members “to bring some hope to our people through today's private meeting on Myanmar.”
We want Myanmar to become one of the democracy countries!🎉
We don't want Myanmar to become a country that fully controlled by Myanmar military!
Thank goodness we are able to condemn something! Good luck assisting Kyaw Moe Tun and the people of Myanmar.

Hello....You can make a big difference by taking practical actions.
What a waste of $200 million of British taxpayers' money.
I personally believed that Juntas couldn't care about any organizations or is the matter of the whole world pressures and sanctions will not affect for them because of there is always someone's helping them. If I may suggest the only way is more physical action rather than pressuring from the distance. Sanctions are also affected but more direct actions may require. That's my thought.💪💪💪
We think and we hope United Kingdom can make peace and respect humanity and to stop supporting weapons in Ukraine again Russia and to support Palestine right to live
UK is
Supplying long range missiles and many other equipments worth of milions of dollars or pounds to Ukraine ..
Why not helping or supplying Myanmar people who are in difficulties and poverty??
🙋
All talks and no actions. UN n western countries dont want the Burmese junta defeated, most of them have significant investments with the junta
