Thank you, Mr. President.
We thank the High Commissioner, the Special Rapporteur and other panelists for very alarming reports.
The ongoing human rights crisis in Myanmar is deeply concerning, particularly the lack of improvement over four years on from the coup. Japan again expresses its grave concern over this deteriorating situation and the absence of substantive progress.
Japan reiterates its call on the Myanmar military to take concrete actions to cease the violence, release those who are arbitrarily detained, and swiftly restore Myanmar’s democratic political system.
The people of Myanmar continue to suffer from the devastating effects of the catastrophic earthquake of 28 March 2025 in its central regions. The Government of Japan has provided humanitarian assistance to people affected by the disaster. This assistance included the deployments of medical teams, the provision of emergency relief goods, and a 6 million US dollar emergency grant through international organizations. Japan remains committed to continuing to provide humanitarian assistance that directly benefits the people of Myanmar in need.
At this time, it is crucial to improve the human rights and humanitarian situations in Myanmar in a manner that reflects the will and needs of the people of Myanmar. While working closely with the international community, including ASEAN, Japan will continue to make every effort to this end.
