Human Rights Watch supports arms embargo by UNSC

On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch called for UN Security Council action on Burma.

“It’s time for the Security Council to end all sales and transfers of arms to a government that uses repression and fear to hang onto power,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Instead of continuing to protect Burma’s abusive generals, China and Russia should join other Security Council members to cut off the instruments of repression.”
