OHCHR Press Conference

Following historic elections held in Myanmar on 8 November 2015, the Special Rapporteur will present her second report to the Human Rights Council on 14 March, two weeks before the new Government assumes power. She will examine the changes that have taken place in Myanmar since 2011 and highlight the formidable human rights challenges that await the new Government. In particular, the Special Rapporteur will discuss structural impediments, the need for in depth legislative reforms as well as key priority areas to address the tragic status quo in Rakhine State and put an end to serious human rights violations in conflict areas.
