UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.N. Security Council on Tuesday discussed the International Court of Justice’s order that Myanmar must do all it can to prevent genocide against the Rohingya Muslims, but failed to agree on a statement.

Myanmar’s ally China as well as Vietnam, which is part of the regional Association of Southeast Nations along with Myanmar, objected, diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed.

This week, the UN cracks down on Myanmar’s genocide and a climate activist takes on racist news

Welcome back to the Race Review! My name is Rosel and I’ll be your news writer in residence every other week, giving you all the details of race-related matters you may have celebrated, missed or just avoided entirely. In this edition, we’ll be tackling the ruling by the International Criminal Justice (ICJ) to protect Rohingya Muslims and what gives us hope in the face of climate change.

REFLECT: The end is nigh

Between the outbreak of Coronavirus, Kenya’s worst locust infestation in 70 years and the UK-Africa summit settling 90% of energy deals in fossil fuels, you’d be forgiven for catastrophising.

However, it’s the efforts of climate activists like Vanessa Nakate that serve as a shot in the arm to turn despair into resolve. After being unfairly cropped out of a photo with the rest of her white peers at the World Economic Forum in Davos by Associated Press, she hit back against racist reporting of the event. Vanessa started and co-ordinated the first climate strikes in Uganda, tirelessly advocating for how climate change will affect her community.

This past Monday, the European Union extended its ban on selling arms to Myanmar while also prolonging sanctions against high-ranking officials suspected of perpetrating atrocities against the country’s Rohingya Muslims.

The European Union (EU) has extended sanctions, including a weapons embargo, against Myanmar for one year over the Myanmarese military’s deadly crackdown on minority Muslims in the country.

The European Council said in a statement on Monday that the sanctions included restrictions on arms, dual-use products, and surveillance equipment that could be used for “internal repression” in Myanmar’s Kachin, Rakhine, and Shan states, where minority Rohingya Muslims have been subjected to state-sponsored violence.

EU extends Myanmar arms embargo, other sanctions for a year

The Washinton Post

By Associated Press

April 29 at 11:28 AM

 

BRUSSELS — The European Union is prolonging by a year an embargo on any arms that could be used in security crackdowns in Myanmar as well as sanctions against 14 top military and border officials.

EU headquarters said Monday that based on an annual review the restrictive measures will be extended until April 30, 2020.

The travel bans and asset freezes were imposed on the 14 officials “for serious human rights violations, or association with such violations” against Myanmar’s Muslim Rohingya minority.

Myanmar’s military launched a brutal counterinsurgency campaign in the western state of Rakhine in 2017, forcing more than 700,000 Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh.

The EU also refuses to cooperate with, or provide training to, the Myanmar military.
