Bill 118 HRES 86, titled "Condemning the Burmese military for perpetrating gross violations of human rights as part of its brutal campaign to suppress the democratic aspirations of the people of Burma, two years after the coup d'etat on February 1, 2021," is a resolution introduced in the US Congress to denounce the actions of the Burmese military in their crackdown on democracy and human rights in Burma.
The resolution highlights the ongoing human rights abuses committed by the Burmese military since the coup d'etat on February 1, 2021, which saw the military seize power and detain democratically elected leaders, including Aung San Suu Kyi. The resolution condemns the military's use of violence, arbitrary arrests, and censorship to suppress the democratic aspirations of the people of Burma.
Furthermore, the resolution calls on the Burmese military to immediately release all political prisoners, restore civilian rule, and engage in a meaningful dialogue with the democratic opposition to address the grievances of the people of Burma. It also urges the international community to hold the Burmese military accountable for their actions and to support the people of Burma in their fight for democracy and human rights.
Overall, Bill 118 HRES 86 serves as a strong condemnation of the Burmese military's actions and a call to action for the US government and the international community to stand in solidarity with the people of Burma in their struggle for democracy and human rights.
