YANGON, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar has rejected a resolution of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) to send a fact-finding mission to the country to investigate alleged human rights abuse by security forces against Muslims in northern Rakhine state.
"The establishment of an international fact-finding mission would do more to inflame rather than resolve the issues at this time," the Myanmar Foreign Ministry said in a statement released late Friday night.
The resolution, tabled by the European Union, was adopted without a vote at the 34th session of the HRC held in Geneva on Friday.
A number of HRC member countries have dissociated themselves from the resolution or voiced their opposition to the establishment of such mission.
The statement said the HRC's move is not in accord with the situation on ground and the Myanmar government voices full commitment to promote and protect human rights for the benefit of the people of Myanmar.
Myanmar would unveil an action plan to promptly implement the recommendations made by the government-assigned Advisory Commission on Rakhine state.
