Revealing Burma’s System of Impunity - A Briefer For The Comission of Inquiry Campaign

This report reveals Burma’s System of Impunity in Burma.

The introduction of the report is that the campaign builds to have the United Nations establish a Commission of Inquiry to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity within Burma, members of Burma’s military regime and apologists for the regime may argue that the international community should let domestic judicial mechanisms run their course before getting involved. Such an argument is both meaningless and counter-productive when applied to Burma, where the domestic judicial system is so irreparably flawed that it becomes both the right and the responsibility of the international system to investigate crimes against humanity and war crimes.
