Dear Mike, We did it! Last week, we had our first major success in the movement to hold Burma's Generals accountable for their crimes against humanity. Now we must capitalize on the momentum! The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in Burma, Tomas Ojea Quintana, released a groundbreaking report to the UN Human Rights Council calling for a Commission of Inquiry into Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes in Burma, after nearly a year of being bombarded by our demands. This is the first time an acting UN official has called for such strong action. The ball is rolling now and we must ensure that it does not slow down! This week, the UN Human Rights Council will discuss whether or not to support Mr.Quintana's recommendations for a Commission of Inquiry. As a member of the Human Rights Council, the United States, needs to be a strong voice supporting Mr. Quintana's recommendations. Without the backing of the United States, the Special Rapporteur's call will go ignored! Tell President Obama that the U.S. must support a UN Commission of Inquiry into the regime's war crimes and crimes against humanity. Do not let this opportunity pass by! Click here to take action today! Here is a link to the Special Rapporteur's report. Let's make sure this happens! Michael Haack Campaigns Coordinator U.S. Campaign for Burma
