The United Nations is Failing Burma!
Target:
San Francisco Consuls General of China, India, Russia and Singapore.
Sponsored by:
Petition for October 24, 2007 - United Nations Day
For presentation to the Consuls General at the respective San Francisco consulates of China, India, Russia and Singapore.
Burma is ruled by one of the most brutal military dictatorships in the world. Last month Buddhist monks and nuns took to the streets, chanting prayers in a call for human rights. As these peaceful protests spread, the Burmese military cracked down and shot, beat, arrested, imprisoned, disappeared and killed protestors. The military continues its night time raids, rounding up monks, activists, and anyone suspected of having supported the marches and is sending them to prison where they will likely be tortured, have no trial, and remain in jail in inhuman conditions for many years.
On the occasion of United Nations Day -- a day on which we are reminded of the achievements and core values of the United Nations -- we, the undersigned, believe that the United Nations has failed and is failing the people of Burma.
We call on the United Nations as a world governing body to exert maximum pressure on the government of Burma to stop the oppression, release all political prisoners immediately, and instigate genuine dialog with the democratically elected National League for Democracy.
In particular, we call on the governments of China, Thailand, India, Russia and Singapore to immediately end their political and economic support of the military regime and to end their role as co-conspirators in the horrendous human rights abuses of the Burmese people.

In fact, United Nation is Paper Tiger and powerless due to negatively influenced and dominanced by Russia and communist China, therefore, it is inavoidable to be involved by U.S Forces like Iraq or NATO in former Yugoslavia for liberation and democracy restoration in Burma .

Instead of wasting US$ 700,000 for Gambari's lip service expenses, buy a smart missile and drop onto NayPyiTaw, the sooner the better in saving lives in suffering Burma. CHEERS!

The junta is not interested in talking. Their constitution is only making them more powerful.

I live half my year in neighboring Thailand and the nature of the people is similar to Bumeese, buddhist and peace loving. It amazes me how anyone from this background can become dictators and treat there own so badly and cause so much suffering. They should just look over into Thailand and see life can be much more pleasent without beating the crap out of everyone.
