During the 59th Session of the Human Rights Council, discussions on Myanmar were held without the participation of the country concerned. The Council subsequently adopted a resolution on Myanmar, based on distorted information that differs from the actual situation on the ground. Following the devastating Mandalay earthquake on 28 March 2025, Myanmar has been mobilizing all available resources to reconstruction efforts. Concurrently, the Government remains committed to maintain peace, stability, security while advancing development and the democratic transition. Election is the cornerstone of this democratic process. Myanmar reaffirms its commitment to conduct free and fair general elections. To further support peace and democratization, the Government has extended invitation to the armed groups return to the legal fold and to take part in the political process. At present, inclusive economic forums and peace forums are being actively convened. These initiatives bring relevant stakeholders to identify optimal strategics for ensuring peace, stability, development and national reconciliation__ as clearly evidenced by on-going process on the ground. Despite these efforts, it is disappointing that the United Nations has not acknowledged the positive measures undertaken by Myanmar. These actions contradict the United Nations’ principles of fairness, impartiality, respect for the rights of member states and transparency. Rather than focusing on resolving global conflicts, natural disasters, pandemic-related issues, security, and development, and UN’s country-specific actions undermine the trust of its member states in the organization. As a Member State, Myanmar remains committed to the fundamental principles of the UN Charter. At the same time, Myanmar calls upon international community to recognize and support its sovereign rights to address national affairs through a Myanmar-owned and Myanmar-led process, in line with the preservation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
