We have had a number of discussions with the Burmese government on the importance
of Burma ratifying the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
At the request of the Burmese government, our Embassy in Rangoon recently funded an
experts’ visit to Burma for the purpose of identifying steps that would need to be
taken and issues that would need to be considered in reaching the decision to ratify
the ICCPR. We hope this will lay the foundations for further action in the coming
months.
