The situation in Myanmar is getting worse, and the UN has warned of unimaginable human suffering and crime networks that are getting out of hand. Julie Bishop, the UN’s special envoy, said that the present “zero-sum” mentality must end, and she asked people in Myanmar to find a better way to move forward.
The war has made the rule of law much weaker, which has led to a rise in transnational crimes like the trade and production of arms, the trafficking of people, and scam centers. Bishop said that Myanmar now has the most organized crime of any member state, and that criminal networks are getting out of hand.
In February 2021, the army overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government, which led to large-scale protests calling for a return to democracy rule. Since then, strong armed ethnic groups have taken over more land, and the military government is having a hard time keeping control.
Important worries:
*Displacement: Three million people have been forced to leave their homes in Myanmar, and 18.6 million need emergency aid.
*Human Rights: The war has caused more civilian deaths and violations of human rights.
• Effects on the region: The crisis could be forgotten, but it has effects on the region and the world that can’t be ignored any longer.
Bishop has talked to people in the Myanmar government, like Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, as well as people in the opposition and ethnic armed groups. She has also gone to neighboring countries like China and Thailand, and she plans to go to India and Bangladesh next to urge them to use their power to help end the situation.
Ways to Get Along Again:
*Stop the violence: There must be an end to the fighting.
*Accountability: People who break human rights laws must be held responsible.
*Unrestricted Access: In order to provide emergency aid, the UN and its partners need to be able to get in without any problems.
People around the world need to pay attention to the problem in Myanmar and work to solve it before it’s too late. If nothing is done, terrible things will happen that will affect regional stability and world security in a big way.
Bishop is working to make it easier for key players to talk to each other and work together. By working with regional powers, she hopes to get more people behind a peaceful answer and get to the bottom of why the conflict started in the first place.
The UN study stresses how important it is to act quickly by saying:
It is important that humanitarian aid gets to people who need it, that vulnerable groups are protected, and that people who violate human rights are held accountable.
The crisis in Myanmar needs instant attention and action from everyone. The world needs to put diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and helping those harmed at the top of its list of priorities.
