Statement delivered by Estonia on behalf of the Nordic-Baltic States
27 June 2025
Mr President,
I have the honour to speak on behalf of the Nordic-Baltic countries.
We thank the High Commissioner and the Special Rapporteur for the comprehensive reports.
We express deep concern regarding the ongoing massive attacks and violence against civilians, further harming communities in the aftermath of devastating earthquake. We continue to support ASEAN`s and the UN`s efforts to establish a ceasefire and to foster genuine, constructive, inclusive, and effective dialogue among all stakeholders towards peace, stability and democracy, in accordance with the will of the people of Myanmar, which is key to resolving the crisis.
We emphasize the urgent need for accountability, including for atrocities committed against Rohingya communities. We welcome the upcoming international conference on the situation of Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar.
Special Rapporteur, how can the international community strengthen its efforts to support the youth in Myanmar, particularly in terms of education, protection, and opportunities for meaningful participation?”
I thank you!
