Press Release: The Resolution Against The Country At HRC Rejected

Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a Press Release on 4 April 2022, Nay Pyi Taw regarding categorically rejecting and dissociating itself from adoption of EU-sponsored resolution against the country at Human Rights Council. Myanmar observed that the adoption of the resolution sponsored by the European Union on 1 April 2022 during the 49th Session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva was unacceptable due to its non-adherence to the standard procedures of the Council as well as unfounded elements contained in the resolution.

Myanmar observed that the Human Rights Council had spent numerous hours on dialogues based on a politically motivated agenda against Myanmar, amidst the serious debates on efficiency measures of the Council due to the proliferation of Interactive Dialogues on human rights matters, including Myanmar.

It is merely the duplication of work at the will of certain sponsors to politically exert pressure on Myanmar rather than the genuine will to pragmatically protect and promote human rights.

Due to the unhelpful approach taken by the sponsors of the resolution and intruding mechanisms and elements contained therein, Myanmar categorically rejects the resolution and dissociates itself from its adoption. Myanmar takes note with appreciation of the constructive statements made by friendly countries and expresses its gratitude to the countries which dissociated themselves from the adoption of the resolution against Myanmar.
