Situation of human rights in Myanmar
Note by the Secretary-General...
Corrigendum:
1. Paragraph 56
The last sentence should read
The March/April outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza remains of serious concern,
although there is no human case of H5N1 in Myanmar.
2. Paragraph 73
For the existing text substitute
73. The Special Rapporteur would like:
(a) To recommend that, given the magnitude of human rights abuses, the
Government of Myanmar should subject all officials committing these acts to strict
disciplinary control and punishment and put an end to the culture of impunity that
prevails throughout the country. In that respect, a number of immediate steps should
be taken, such as setting up (an) independent national commission(s) to look into the
mob attack of Aung San Suu Kyi in November 1996 and the brutal Depayin incident
in May 2003, and to investigate the widespread sexual violence against women and
girls with a view to ensuring that those responsible for such crimes are brought to
justice;
(b) To call upon the Government of Myanmar to authorize access to the
affected areas by the Special Rapporteur, the United Nations and associated
personnel, as well as personnel of humanitarian organizations and to guarantee their
safety, security and freedom of movement.
