Universal Periodic Review – Myanmar (Burma)

EarthRights International has submitted a report to the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights in connection with the U.N. Human Rights Council’s periodic review of the human rights obligations of Burma (Myanmar).  The report focuses on human rights abuses associated with oil and gas projects in Burma, which are emblematic of abuses on development projects in Burma generally, and makes a number of recommendations to eliminate such abuses in the future.
