Abstract: Open letter: UN General Assembly must denounce Myanmar military junta’s sham election, support Myanmar people’s democratic aspirations Your Excellencies, We—206 Myanmar, regional, and international civil society organizations—call on the Member States of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to adopt a resolution that categorically rejects the Myanmar military junta’s sham election and explicitly supports the Myanmar people’s ongoing efforts to establish bottom-up federal democracy. In this vein, we urge the UNGA to ensure that Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun retains his credentials as the Permanent Representative of Myanmar. We also urge the UNGA to end the mandate of the Special Envoy on Myanmar, and the Secretary-General to immediately assume a leadership role in addressing the crisis. First, we call on the UNGA to adopt a resolution on Myanmar at its upcoming 80th Session that unequivocally denounces the junta’s sham election, as well as its violence and other coercive tactics to compel participation in this farcical exercise. Despite changing its name from “State Administration Council” to “State Security and Peace Commission,” the junta has neither the legal right nor the political legitimacy necessary to conduct any electoral process in Myanmar. The junta also severely lacks the effective territorial and administrative control over Myanmar necessary to conduct an “election.”
