Myanmar Rejects U.N. Resolution on Human Rights

Xinhuanet 2002-04-26 21:49:35
   YANGON, April 26 (Xinhuanet) -- The Myanmar government rejected on
Friday evening a resolution of the United Nations on human rights
adopted in Geneva, complaining some countries of ignoring its
pragmatic developments without identifying them.
   The Geneva-based U.N. Commission on Human Rights adopted the
resolution on Thursday, moved by the European Union, condemning
the Myanmar military government for gross human rights violations
and expressing fresh concern at the plight of opposition leader
Aung San Suu Kyi who has been under house arrest for 18 months
since September 2000.
    "We unfathomably regret that in spite of all the cooperation
and positive developments concretely taking place on all sectors
in Myanmar, certain countries and certain sectors took pains to
deliberately ignore all these pragmatic developments with the sole
intent to put pressure on Myanmar," said an official Information
Sheet.
   It added: "In spite of all these unfair and bias policy and
treatment outstandingly imposed on Myanmar by those nations with
their own vested interest, the government of Myanmar, with her
uniqueness and with her people finds herself in continuing to work
together with the accompaniment of the fellow nations and the U.N.
with a view to fulfilling its obligation and commitment."
   On human rights issues, the Myanmar government always insists
that whatever human rights mean to various nations with different
economic, social, historical, cultural and traditional values,
human rights for a third world country like Myanmar mean rights to
enjoying the basic human requirements such as security, food and
shelter.  Enditem
