The President of the Security Council will hold a close-door meeting on Myanmar in February. The presence of Christine Sharan Bergner, special envoy of the secretary-general of the council to Myanmar, is also likely to speak.
"We must work closely with Myanmar's Asian and Asian neighbors, the UK's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, and the President of the Security Council, to address this long-term threat to peace and security." Says at a virtual presmit.
He said the issue of Myanmar was originally scheduled to be discussed in the council later this week, but was postponed until Tuesday due to the country's development over the weekend, considering the urgency and urgency of discussing the situation after the coup.
The council last held talks with Myanmar in November 2020 before the November elections.
Asked to discuss the Security Council sanctions, Woodward said the UN Security Council would hold constructive talks on Myanmar as much as possible and take steps to ensure the dignity of the people, the vote and the release of civil society leaders.
“Those will be our neglected goals and we want to consider the measures that will lead us to that goal,” he said.
He said he hoped a closed-door discussion would be fruitful to allow "clear discussions" at council meetings.
"At the moment, we have no specific idea about the system. We are first trying to establish what is happening and then discuss our national capabilities so that the UN Security Council will do its best to understand what the two countries can do bilaterally." Emphasizes on taking his steps effectively.
At first glance, his goal is to restore democracy and release prisoners, and to end coups and military rule.
Woodward said he is deeply concerned about the plight of Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar as well.
Stephen Dujarric, a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said daily press briefings would have an impact on what happened in Myanmar.
"One of these effects is not only delaying the safe and voluntary return of refugees who are in Bangladesh and other countries and as refugees, we do not know what will happen to the Rohingyas in Rakhine State," he said.
He said Berzner was actively involved in the Myanmar issue and that he had held talks with Myanmar interlocutors outside the country.
He is trying to reach out to leaders in Nay Pyi Taw, but communication with the Myanmar capital is difficult at the moment, Dujarric said, adding that colleagues at Myanmar's UN team are also watching the situation with deep concern, especially the need to prevent and respond to the ongoing epidemic.
"They are working to ensure that recent events do not adversely affect Myanmar's poorest people. The UN team has supported Myanmar's Kovacs appeal, as well as the national Covid-19 and immunization plan by monitoring the country's readiness and mapping the winter." , ”He said.
Asked by the UN for any information about Suu Kyi and other detained leaders, Dujarric said: "No, we do not have any information."
"We are trying to send our special envoy to his correspondents in Nayapita. He is unable to leave, and our country's team had no information," he said.
The UN official insisted that the release of all those detained was a preliminary task, adding that no UN official had been able to reach the current authorities in Myanmar due to communication challenges.
Asked whether the secretary-general would talk to military leaders in control of Myanmar, Dujarric said the UN was always ready to talk to anyone to move the key situation in the right direction, whether the people were directly involved or regional powers.
"I think what we are realizing right now is a situation that is still somewhat unclear. What we do know is that the will of the people of Myanmar has changed in an undemocratic way and needs to change. People need to be respected," Dujarric said.
He emphasized that it was important for the international community to speak with one voice and that what would come out of the Security Council, if anything, would add weight to the call.
