Protest against human rights violations in Myanmar
Sep 17, 2024 Today, we are holding a demonstration for liberal democracy and human rights in front of Myanmar's Military Embassy. This is the campaign against a military dictatorial government that abused human rights by indiscriminate bombing and artillery among innocent civilian villages and towns. We oppose dictatorship and their human rights violations policy in the country. This is also a 4th year of military coup. On February 1, 2021, the military coup d'etat destroyed a democracy. The country’s successive rulers, Myanmar military governments, had never implemented democracy and had not respected the protesters voice.
The military government continued conflict with ethnic minorities in peripheral areas and a humanitarian crisis. It is clear that the Myanmar military’s attitude has been shown to be deceitful with regards to its country’s people and before the international community. Therefore, we, the Liberal Democracy Movement of Burma, demand that the Myanmar dictatorship rulers:
The political issues are: 1. Stop the coup in Myanmar and restore a liberal democracy system in Myanmar. 2. Immediately cease its human rights violations and religious repression in the peripheral of the country.
The economic issues: 1. Relief the country from economic oppression. Economic should be a priority as similar as the security issue. Eliminate all restrictions for humanitarian workers for the on-going flood disaster crisis. 2. Open a room for international experts (policy analysis/think tank) for the country's development.
Furthermore, we ask that the government of the Republic of Korea and the international community show staunch support for the cause of liberal democracy in Myanmar. We also ask for greater support for the victims of on-going disasters in Myanmar. Here in South Korea, Koreans should show solidarity for our democracy movement instead of discrimination.

Promoting accountability in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
The United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) in Geneva released a report on promoting accountability in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. This is a report mandated by the UN Human Rights Council and will be presented to the Council at its upcoming session 52nd session next month in Geneva. The present report is submitted to the Human Rights Council pursuant to its resolutions 46/17 and 49/22 on the situation of human rights in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It provides an update to the report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (A/HRC/46/52) and oral update given to the Council at its forty-ninth session, in March 2022.
In its resolution 46/17, the Council requested the High Commissioner to submit to the Council, at its fifty-second session, a full report on the implementation of the recommendations made by the group of independent experts on accountability aimed at strengthening current monitoring and documentation efforts, establishing a central information and evidence repository, having experts in legal accountability assess all information and testimonies with a view to developing possible strategies to be used in any future accountability process.
The Council also requested the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to organize a series of consultations and outreach activities with victims, affected communities and other relevant stakeholders with a view to including their views into avenues for accountability. The present report describes the activities of OHCHR in the past two years to implement Council resolutions 34/24, 40/20, 46/17 and 49/22, highlighting the progress made and the challenges encountered.
The report examines, in the light of relevant international legal standards, information gathered by OHCHR on human rights violations committed in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. OHCHR sought the views of the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on the implementation of resolution 46/17.
In its reply, the Government repeated its position that it did not recognize Council resolutions, which it saw as a product of the policy of “hostile” Member States. OHCHR shared the present report with the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea for comments. The Government responded that it rejected the report. OHCHR stands ready to cooperate and engage with the Government on improving the situation of human rights in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
