The international community has failed the people of Myanmar since a military junta took power last year, the UN human rights rapporteur for the southeast Asian country said on Wednesday.

Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military coup, with swathes of the country engulfed by fighting.

More than 2,300 people have been killed in the military's crackdown on dissent since the coup, which rights groups say includes razing villages, mass extrajudicial killings and air strikes on civilians.
