Mr. Thein, last week the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar and other UN experts issued a press release calling for a “course correction” on Myanmar after the civilian death toll passed 6,000. I'll read an excerpt from that release, which said, “There are now 6,000 reminders that the international community is failing the people of Myanmar. It is time for a change, starting with moving this disaster out of the shadows of international attention.”
You gave us stats on the millions of people who are internally and externally displaced. Why do you believe there's been such a lack of international attention on the situation in Myanmar? What can the international community do to help bring an end to this ongoing crisis?
