This resolution condemns the Myanmar military junta's violence, repression, and humanitarian crisis, including the Rohingya's suffering, and calls for humanitarian access, refugee protection, and ASEAN action. It rejects the junta's planned elections as illegitimate, demands release of political prisoners, stresses justice and accountability, and urges the EU to impose targeted sanctions.

Key points

  1. Strongly condemns the Myanmar military junta for escalating force against civilians, including airstrikes, artillery, and ground operations causing high casualties and destruction.
  2. Expresses alarm at junta's repression: forced conscription, torture, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, sexual violence, and impunity.
  3. Deplores the humanitarian crisis with millions displaced lacking shelter, water, sanitation, education, and medical care.
  4. Condemns disproportionate suffering of Rohingya, who remain stateless, face discrimination, and lack humanitarian access.
  5. Calls for urgent, safe, unhindered humanitarian access across Myanmar, focusing on Rohingya communities.
  6. Urges neighbouring countries, particularly Bangladesh, to protect refugees, ensure non-refoulement, and avoid discriminatory practices or forced returns.
  7. Welcomes ASEAN's role and appeals for intensified engagement, supporting cross-border humanitarian corridors and pressing junta to end violence and allow political transition.
  8. Condemns planned elections as not free, fair, or inclusive; insists any vote under military direction lacks legitimacy; demands junta end violence, relinquish power, and restore civilian governance.
  9. Calls for release of Win Myint, Aung San Suu Kyi, and all political prisoners, journalists, and activists, dropping all charges.
  10. Stresses need for justice and accountability, with independent investigations to document and prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity.
  11. Demands EU increase diplomatic pressure with targeted, smart sanctions on military leaders and economic actors enabling the junta.
