ND-Burma, Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) and the Women’s League of Burma (WLB) recently organized two workshops on , Human Rights and International Law in Burma, which was attended by Burmese human rights organizations and activists.
The workshops looked at how the human rights abuses in Burma are violating international law and the role of Burmese human rights organizations and activists in campaigning for international law to be used to address the situation in Burma.
Quotable
"The United Nations should establish this commission without delay as a vital first step towards justice for the many victims of serious abuses in Burma. Failing to act on the Rapporteur’s recommendation for accountability in Burma will only embolden rights abusers and further postpone long-overdue justice."
- Kenneth Roth, (HRW executive director)
