Myanmar's Foreign Ministry on Saturday rejected a UN General Assembly resolution calling for an arms embargo against the Southeast Asian nation and condemning the military's February seizure of power.
Myanmar described the resolution, which passed Friday and is not legally binding, as being 바카라based on one-sided sweeping allegations and false assumptions.바카라 The statement issued in the capital Naypyitaw said the Foreign Ministry had sent letters of objection to the UN secretary-general and the General Assembly's president.
The resolution reflected a broad international consensus condemning the takeover that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government. It called on the military junta to restore the country's democratic transition, condemned its 바카라excessive and lethal violence바카라 since the takeover and called on all countries 바카라to prevent the flow of arms into Myanmar.바카라
The resolution also called on Myanmar's armed forces to immediately and unconditionally release Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other officials and politicians detained after the coup, as well as 바카라all those who have been arbitrarily detained, charged or arrested.바카라?
The measure was approved with 119 countries voting 바카라yes,바카라 Belarus 바카라 a major arms supplier to Myanmar 바카라 voting 바카라no바카라 and 36 countries abstaining, including Myanmar's neighbors China and India, along with Russia.
Myanmar's U.N. Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, who in February denounced the military takeover, voted 바카라yes바카라 and urged the international community 바카라to take the strongest possible action to immediately end the military coup.'
The Foreign Ministry statement said it considers Kyaw Moe Tun as having been dismissed from his position and noted that he has been charged with treason in Myanmar.
바카라Accordingly, his statement, participation and action in the meeting are illegitimate and unacceptable and Myanmar strongly rejects his participation and statements,바카라 it said.
바카라While Myanmar embraces constructive advice by the international community in addressing the challenges that Myanmar is facing, any attempt infringing on the state sovereignty and interference in the internal affairs of Myanmar will not be accepted,바카라 said the statement.
The more powerful U.N. Security Council, whose resolutions are legally binding, has adopted several statements on Myanmar, including condemning the use of violence against peaceful protesters, calling on the military to restore the democratic transition and 바카라exercise utmost restraint바카라 and 바카라on all sides to refrain from violence.바카라
But it has never been able to condemn the coup or authorize an arms embargo or other sanctions because of an almost-certain veto by China, and possibly Russia.
