WPN co-organized a dialogue between the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar and civil society in New York after yesterday's Interactive Dialogue on #Myanmar at the #UNGA80 Third Committee.

#IIMM's work is critical for Myanmar's future, and requires full support from the int'l community.

A recording of a side event made possible many people, orgs, and member states!

But the story is not about those speaking but the dire crisis on the ground. Through this event, hopefully greater int'l attention will be directed to Burma crisis, esp. in Rakhine State, and yield concrete actions.
On September 29, WPN organized a side event on #Rohingya at #UNGA80 High-level Week.

In observation of the HLC on Myanmar, our event was co-sponsored by member states and fellow civil society, and featured high-level speakers and expert panelists.

WPN participated in the United Nations HLC on Rohingya & Other Minorities.

We directly urged high-level int'l stakeholders to act for protection, justice, and lasting peace for all people in #Myanmar.

Now is the time to push for change. The conference must not end up becoming a one-time event.
