We, the undersigned 286 organizations stress the need, at an absolute
minimum, to convene an open meeting of the UN Security Council to address the
deteriorating humanitarian situation and urgent civilian protection concerns in
Myanmar as a matter of extreme urgency.
As we approach one year since the attempted coup on 1 February,
all UN Security Council member states have a shared responsibility to address
the crisis in an open setting and share national positions on actions the UN
Security Council should be taking. Closed meetings and press statements are not
working.
We call on Norway as UN Security Council President, the UK as
Myanmar “penholder” and all supportive states to table the open debate before
the one-year anniversary and require other member states to declare their
support.
