On 1 September 2006, the US Ambassador to the UN submitted a resolution on Myanmar’s affairs to be put on the UN Security Council agenda, saying that Myanmar’s affairs posed a threat to regional and international peace and security, and put pressure on and persuaded other nations to express their support. The resolution was passed to put Myanmar on the UNSC agenda under the title of “Situation in Myanmar” on 15 September.

Myanmar government and the people issued attitudes and declarations and objected and turned down the US accusations saying that the attempt was neither correct nor just. Moreover, neighbouring and regional countries, friendly nations and member nations of Non- Aligned Movement opposed and objected the US resolution. Again, on 11 January 2007, Acting US Ambassador to the UN proposed a draft resolution urging the UNSC to take action against Myanmar.

In connection with this, Ambassadors of South Africa, China and Russia said that Myanmar issue was just the internal issue and Myanmar did not constitute a threat to the regional and international peace and security. They also expressed their attitudes explicitly that they did not support the interference that was beyond the fundamental obligation of the UNSC.

Nine nations voted for the US and Britain- proposed draft resolution, and China, Russia and South Africa against it with three abstentions. China and Russia thus cast veto to reject the draft resolution. Therefore, the incorrect and one-sided attempt of the US and Britain to interfere in the internal affairs of Myanmar was abortive. In other words, it was the great victory of the people of the international community and the people of Myanmar who love truthfulness.
