Time for the UN to show its Teeth

It is not surprising that the United Nations Rapporteur on Human Rights in Burma called the creation of a Commission of Inquiry (COI), the UN’s highest-level probe, to investigate abuses in the country.

The 47-member body must establish a COI “to investigate the systematic, structural, and institutional discrimination in policy, law and practice, as well long-standing persecution, against the Rohingya and other non-Myanmar ethnic nationalities” reports both from inside Burma and from the Bangladesh undoubtedly proves the authenticity that the Tadmadaw, which has been committing gross human rights violations for more than seventy years on the non-Myanmar ethnic nationalities, is a crime against humanity. Now it is time that these SA (Self Appointed) Generals should be tried at The Hague. How come, a country with hundreds different kinds ethnic nationalities miserably suffering ethnic cleansing for more than half a century was not responded by the international community? The answer is simple, because Ka Lar Rohingya is not an ethnic. In this respect a Burmese proverb coming true, literal translation means that “you hear only when the Ka Lar (any one whose complexion is black and is not a degrading word as many foreign scholars use to describe,) shouts and believe only when he cries” is proven true in this Rohingya case.

Now it has reached at the civilized world forum that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, either has to accept the shame on behalf of the entire Myanmar race or bent to the Tatmadaw’smotto of, “Lying the very concept of truth” in the international forum and be branded forever that that Myanmar race itself are liars and cannot be trusted placing her between ‘devil or the deep sea.’ It is high time that the UN Security Council should recommend the UN Human Rights Office of the High Commission (UNHRC) to enquire Burma’s latest crime against humanity. In fact the UNHRC has a good record of doing excellent work in Eritrea, Darfur, Burundi, and Gaza and currently in Syria. The Burmese Generals knew that in March 2013 its bosom friend and nuclear partner North Korea was investigated by the UNHRC for the systematic widespread and grave violations and now it is her turn to be investigated.
