The UN Security Council, following discussions at an emergency meeting the day before, strongly condemned military violence against peaceful protests in Myanmar.
However, opposition from China and Russia has left no concrete measures to stop military violence, and despite continued crackdowns on civilians, there is a sense of stalemate.
The UN Security Council held its third emergency meeting on the 31st of last month after a coup d'etat by the Myanmar military, following the deaths of more than 500 civilians in Myanmar due to shootings by security forces. It was.
Then, on the evening of the next day, this month's presidency, Vietnam, expressed serious concern about the rapid deterioration of the situation, used violence against peaceful protests, and of hundreds of citizens, including women and children. I strongly condemned death. "
He then called for the immediate release of all detainees, including State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, saying, "I demand maximum restraint from the Myanmar military."
However, expressions such as "strongly condemn violence" are almost the same as the chairman's statement issued after the previous meeting, and this announcement is a lower discourse than the chairman's statement and the statement for the media.
At this meeting as well, Western countries demanded sanctions such as an embargo on weapons, but China and Russia could not take concrete actions as the Security Council in opposition, and the crackdown on citizens continues. Nevertheless, I feel a sense of stalemate.
