Comment on “Nine Nations of United Nations Security Council Condemn Myanmar Military, Demand End to Violence – Japan, the U.S., the U.K., and Others” [in Japanese]
On February 6, 2024, a comment of Professor Maiko Ichihara of the Graduate School of Law on the Asahi Shimbun article, “Nine Nations of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Condemn Myanmar Military, Demand End to Violence – Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Others” was published. This article is about the joint statement issued by nine members of the UNSC, including Japan, the U.S., and the U.K., “strongly condemning” the Myanmar military, which has been in power since the coup of February 2021, for its continued violence against civilians. Professor Ichihara welcomed the statement condemning the Myanmar military, but commented that the Japanese government, as a non-permanent member of the UNSC in Asia, should take the Myanmar issue more seriously.
