UN briefing on Myanmar throws spotlight on junta

The United Nations Security Council’s decision to organise a briefing on Myanmar casts the spotlight on the reclusive generals whose disregard for human rights has made the country a pariah state.. The decision came after an Asian human rights watchdog group released what it called the most comprehensive report on torture in Myanmar, accusing the generals of ”brutal and systematic” abuse of political prisoners.
