NEW YORK, June 15 ― Myanmar's ambassador to the United Nations, who has refused to leave his post despite being fired after the February coup, has called for “effective collective measures” against the junta, ahead of expected Security Council talks on the situation.
He said that the lack of forceful international reaction in the wake of the coup, which ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, helped facilitate the deadly crackdown on anti-coup protesters. The Council is expected to hear a presentation by Erywan Pehin Yusof, Brunei's second minister for foreign affairs, who was one of two Asean envoys to meet with junta leader Min Aung Hlaing earlier this month.
That plan also called for the naming of an ASEAN envoy tasked with handling the crisis, but so far, no one has been named to that position.
