| UN mission urges financial isolation of Myanmar’s military over human rights abuses |
| 2019-05-15 |
| [DAWN] An international fact-finding mission is urging that countries cut off all business with Myanmar's military as part of efforts to hold the army accountable for human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... abuses. The UN Human Rights Council said in a statement on Tuesday that there has been no progress toward resolving the crisis over Myanmar's mostly Moslem Rohingya minority, more than 1 million of whom have fled military "clearance operations" in the northwest Rakhine region. The statement issued in Geneva said the situation was at a standstill. Myanmar authorities have razed deserted Rohingya villages and those remaining in the country live in displacement camps and in fear. |

| #2 So, let's see; Myanmar gathers up Moslems and either runs them out of the country or puts them into camps and the UN is horrified. China takes Moslems and puts them into "re-education" camps and the world yawns. |
