It is stated that U.S. condemns the Burmese regime’s cruel actions against people, their houses, and places of worship, which reveal the regime’s total contempt for the lives and welfare of the Burmese people and highlights the heinous crimes as the urgent need for the international community to hold the Burmese military accountable and take measures to prevent serious human rights violations, including the transfer of weapons to the military.

The U.S is set to push for accountability for the regime’s heinous violence against the Burmese people for which the U.S reiterates that the U.S has been and continues to be perpetuated and stand for the Burmese people and all those striving to restore Burma’s democratic path and bring the crisis to a peaceful conclusion.
Of 16 western countries that have diplomatic ties and mission offices in Myanmar, the U.S is the only country that issues statement condemning the atrocities committed in Thantlang, Chin State by the military regime in Chin State, the western Myanmar.
