This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United Nations Security Council should immediately impose an arms embargo against the military of Burma, also known as the Tatmadaw. This action is urged to prevent the continued acquisition of arms and military equipment, holding the Tatmadaw accountable for its 2021 coup against the democratically elected government, ongoing human rights violations, and the brutal use of force against peaceful protestors and ethnic minority groups. The resolution highlights the military's detention of elected leaders, obstruction of humanitarian access, and suppression of freedoms. The resolution further stipulates that any lifting of a United Nations arms embargo should be contingent upon the Tatmadaw implementing a permanent cease-fire , releasing all democratically elected government leaders, and taking responsibility for gross human rights abuses. Additional conditions include allowing unimpeded humanitarian access, fully restoring internet and telecommunications, and establishing a clear process to transition power back to a democratically elected civilian-led government. Finally, it calls on the international community to continue supporting civilians, particularly ethnic minorities, and to promote peace and reconciliation dialogues within local civil society.
