Details

The European Parliament adopted by 65 votes to 0, with no abstentions, a resolution on the situation in Burma.

The resolution was tabled by the EPP-ED, PES, ALDE, Greens/EFA, GUE/NGL and UEN groups.

The Parliament condemns the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) for its relentless suppression of the Burmese people over 40 years and its total failure to make any significant move towards democracy. It also condemns the regime's brutal crackdown on several large ethnic groups, including the Karen of Eastern Burma, which has led to large-scale suffering and internal displacement, with some 82 000 people forced to leave their homes in Eastern Burma in 2006.

The resolution urges the National Convention to present a road map to democracy that genuinely reflects the wishes of the Burmese people instead of consolidating the military's stranglehold on power. It also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners – estimated to number over 1 100 – held by the SPDC.

MEPs acknowledge that the EU's targeted sanctions have so far failed to achieve the desired impact and call on the Council to expand the scope of the sanctions and to enlarge the list of those targeted, so that it includes all SPDC ministers, deputies, members, supporters and workers, in addition to their family members, and businessmen and other prominent individuals associated with the regime.

The Parliament urges China, India and other countries that continue to supply weaponry and other support to the military junta to cease to do so and to join the international community in its efforts to bring about change for the better in Burma.

The Parliament also insists that all aid destined for Burma must be delivered through genuine NGOs and must reach the people for whom it is intended, with the least possible involvement of the SPDC.

The UN Security Council is called upon to pass a binding resolution requiring the restoration of democracy in Burma and the release of all political prisoners.
