Bill > HRes106

This resolution expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' strong condemnation of the military coup in Burma (also known as Myanmar) that occurred on February 1, 2021, by calling on the United Nations Security Council to impose an immediate arms embargo against the Tatmadaw (Burma's military). The resolution details the military's actions, including deposing democratically elected leaders like Aung San Suu Kyi, nullifying election results, detaining government officials, restricting communications, and using brutal force against peaceful protesters. It demands that the arms embargo remain in place until the Tatmadaw meets specific conditions, such as implementing a permanent cease-fire, releasing detained government leaders, addressing human rights abuses against ethnic minorities (including the Rohingya), allowing humanitarian access, restoring internet and telecommunications, and transitioning power back to a civilian-led government. Additionally, the resolution urges the international community to support civilians, especially ethnic minorities, and promote peace and reconciliation efforts in the wake of the military's violent takeover.
