Motion text

That this House condemns the gross violations of human rights perpetrated by the Burma Army in Karen State, Burma, in recent months, including the displacement of over 11,000 villagers, the shootings of civilians at point-blank range, the beheading and mutilation of civilians, the shooting of a nine year-old girl, and the continued attacks on Karen civilians in the worst offensive since 1997; calls on the Government and the European Union to condemn these atrocities; urges the Department for International Development to provide urgently-needed humanitarian assistance to the internally displaced people in Eastern Burma through Thai-based relief organisations; calls on the UN Security Council (UNSC) to use its authority to stop the violence against civilians in Eastern Burma and to pass a binding resolution requiring democratic change in Burma; and further calls on the Government to work with UNSC member states to ensure such a resolution is passed as a matter of urgency.
