The 12-day trip will be special rapporteur Yanghee Lee’s first official visit back to Myanmar since the elections took place last November and the National League for Democracy-backed government came to power in April.
“Important steps have already been taken to further democratic transition, national reconciliation, sustainable development and peace,” Ms Lee said in a statement. “I intend to make a comprehensive and objective assessment of the human rights situation taking these elements into account.” (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
