The military regime in Burma is one of the most brutal in the world.
In Eastern Burma the UN has accused the regime of breaking the Geneva Conventions by deliberately targeting civilians. The Burmese Army rapes, loots, burns, tortures and kills. Despite these appalling acts, there is no UN global arms embargo on Burma.
