standard of health, expressing alarm that children continue to be subjected to the six grave
violations against children during armed conflict and that the scale and recurrent nature of
such violations and abuses will affect generations to come, and calling upon all parties to the
conflict to engage with the United Nations on action plans to end and prevent grave violations
committed against children,
Reiterating also the responsibility of the Myanmar military to protect and respect the
human rights of all persons in Myanmar, including persons belonging to ethnic, religious and
other minorities, including Rohingya, and reiterating the urgent need to undertake a full,
transparent, impartial and independent investigation into all reports of violations and abuses
of international human rights law, violations of international humanitarian law and crimes
under international law, to ensure that perpetrators are held accountable in fair, independent
and impartial criminal proceedings, including in domestic courts or tribunals, in accordance
with international law standards, and to ensure that victims, survivors and their families have
access to effective remedy, including by prompt, effective and independent casualty
recording and guarantees of non-recurrence,
Expressing grave concern at reports of alarming numbers of deaths in detention due
to torture, ill-treatment and inadequate access to medical care,
Reiterating its grave concern over the impact of the enactment of the 1982 Citizenship
Law on Rohingya, who were in effect made stateless and dispossessed from previously held
rights, and reaffirming that the denial of their citizenship status and related rights, including
voting rights, is a serious human rights concern,
Expressing grave concern at the enforcement by the Myanmar military on 10 February
2024 of forced conscription of men aged 18 to 35 years and women aged 18 to 27 years,
which has led to forced recruitment, including of Rohingya, and is impacting the civilian
population and is causing increased instability in Myanmar and across the region and an
increase in the numbers of internally displaced persons and of refugees in neighbouring
countries and Rohingya-hosting countries,
Expressing alarm at the violations and abuses occurring in the framework of
transnational crimes, including drug trafficking, trafficking in persons and scam operations,
victims and survivors of which face a range of serious violations and abuses, including threats
to their safety and security, and many of whom have reportedly been subjected to torture and
cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, arbitrary detention, sexual and
gender-based violence, forced labour and other human rights abuses,
Expressing deep concern at the Myanmar military’s exploitation of the country’s
natural resources for personal gain and to fund its military activities and human rights
violations and abuses, also increasing the climate vulnerability of the people of Myanmar,
and recalling the recommendation made by the independent international fact-finding
mission on Myanmar that no business enterprise active in Myanmar or trading with or
investing in businesses in Myanmar should enter into or remain in a business relationship of
any kind with the security forces of Myanmar, in particular the Myanmar military, or any
enterprise owned or controlled by them, including subsidiaries, or their individual members,
until and unless they are restructured and transformed,
Expressing deep concern also at the restrictions on civil society and labour union
members and at the targeting of trade union leaders and members for exercising their right to
freedom of association, including through the use of arbitrary arrests, detention, torture,
intimidation, the surveillance of workers negotiating wage increases and the deprivation of
basic civil liberties, due legal process and institutional recourse,
Recognizing that increased crime and corruption in Myanmar impact safety and
stability in and beyond the wider South-East Asian region, and that Myanmar remains the
world’s main producer of opium and one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of synthetic
drugs,
Noting the decision by the Governing Body of the International Labour Organization
to place on the agenda of the 113th session of the International Labour Conference, to be held
from 2 to 13 June 2025, an item concerning measures to secure compliance by Myanmar with
the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry,
