128: RCSS Supports UN Commission of Inquiry in Burma
Restoration Council of the Shan State (RCSS) has decided to back the proposal to create a UN commission of inquiry into war crimes and crimes against humanity in Burma allegedly committed by Burmese military government, said a letter of RCSS sending to UN.
The letter signed by Lt. Gen Yawd Serk, Chairman of RCSS said that RCSS endorses the creation of an international commission of inquiry to investigate alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Burma as was earlier called for by UN Special Rapporteur Tomás Quintana.
RCSS will render its support in any way needed to expose to the international community what has been taking place in Burma for decades, said the letter.
So far, the U.S, Britain, the Czech Republic, Australia and Slovakia have also voiced support for an inquiry.
