KILLING OF CHRISTIAN MINORITIES IN MYANMAR'S KACHIN PROVINCE

That this House condemns severely the persecution and systemic killing of Christian minorities in Myanmar's Kachin province by the Myanmar military and government militias; calls on Aung San Suu Kyi to pursue a ceasefire and ensure the safety of those threatened with persecution and displacement, which since April 2018 has seen over 6,800 people flee Kachin; denounces the Myanmar security forces and the Kachin Independence Army for the role they have played in the violence, and asserts that both sides should look to come to a peaceful resolution as soon as possible; calls on the international community to assist to mediate the situation; and demands the allowing of human rights and groups to enter the province so as to help those in need.
