Every
citizen can make a significant contribution to create a wave of support
to convince the UNSC to take appropriate action on Burma. Here are some
ideas to get you started, and some examples from what other people have
done before:
Write a letter to the
UN General Secretary, your President, Prime Minister, and/or your
elected representative in Parliament/Congress demanding UNSC action
on Burma following the recommendations in the “Threat to Peace”
report.
If you are
from a country currently represented at the UNSC, write a letter
to your UN Permanent Representative urging that he/she draft a resolution
for action in Burma following the recommendations in the “Threat
to Peace” report.
Write
a letter to your elected representative urging your government to
use its diplomatic weight to work with UNSC members to build support
for a resolution on Burma, and to make public statements in support
of UNSC action.
