The US Senate has adopted a resolution calling on Washington to spearhead a campaign for a UN Security Council resolution compelling Myanmar's military junta to work with the world body on a plan for national reconciliation. Adopted late Thursday, the resolution also condemned the military rulers of the Southeast Asian nation for its current "campaign of terror" against ethnic minorities, reportedly the most serious in a decade. The resolution reflects the Senate's "grave concern about the deteriorating situation in Burma (Myanmar)," said Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority whip, whose resolution received bipartisan backing. |
