The+Human+Rights+situation+in+Burma

**Sub-Commission 1** **Delegation: Sudan** Policy Statement __Issue 4: Human Rights Situation in Burma__ Many human right violations occur in the border of Burma today. These violations include rape, torture, and murder. The violations are as a result of Burma’s instability, and the lack of government control in the country. Sudan believes that if the international community were to get directly involved with Burmese affairs, and try to help the government, that it would only cause further instability and cause more long-term issues. Burma is slowly stabilizing, and these human rights violations occur only during this brief time of instability. Sudan believes that as Burma’s government becomes more stable, that it would have stronger control over its people, which would lead to a decline in the human rights violations. Sudan believes that the Burmese government is doing all it can do to stop these human rights violations from happening, but at the moment only so much can be done. The violations which are not condoned or supported by the government in any way and are an example of Burma’s instability, and are only temporary. A sub-organization of the UN could be established in Burma to assist the government in fighting with these human rights violations. This sub-organization however, would be working with the government, and would have to abide by laws set forth by the government. Sudan believes that involving peace-keeping forces would only make matters more unstable and would lead Burma to a state of anarchy, when stability and government control is what is currently needed.
