Scoop: UN To Hold Special Session On Burma On 2 October: "The United Nations Human Rights Council has announced it will hold a special meeting on 2 October to discuss the situation in Myanmar, amid growing calls for authorities in the Southeast Asian nation to exercise restraint in dealing with ongoing protests."
This is good news. It is really good to know that everyone in the world is saying the same thing. It is good to know we are all talking loudly and clearly to Burma and it is good to know that the people who want to just go about their daily lives as we do have well and truly been heard this time. It's right and proper that the UN call a meeting so this matter can be properly addressed and it's important that we ask the government of Burma to change to a more humane and logical form of government which is more in keeping with how the planet is now. It is not for us to tell a country how to run itself, but it is up to us to say that certain ways of treating people are just not acceptable anymore.We are all connected now. We have gone past the era where we didn't know and so we could do nothing. I should so love to think we could solve this in a sensible, adult fashion...and that we can be allowed to help those in Burma who need food, medication...practical help.
