UNITED NATIONS The UN General Assembly has rejected a request from the winners of Myanmar's 1990 elections to replace representatives of the country's current military junta at the United Nations, the UN said Friday. The UN's legal chief said credentials must be issued by a country's head of state or government, or by the minister for foreign affairs. The military has ruled Myanmar, also known as Burma, since 1962 and has been widely criticized for suppressing basic freedoms. The current junta, which took power in 1988 after crushing pro-democracy demonstrations, held general elections in 1990 but refused to cede power. A Sept. 9 letter from candidates elected to parliament in 1990 challenged the legitimacy of the country's military government.
Where there's political will, there is a way
政治的な意思がある一方、方法がある
စစ္မွန္တဲ့ခိုင္မာတဲ့နိုင္ငံေရးခံယူခ်က္ရိွရင္ႀကိဳးစားမႈရိွရင္ နိုင္ငံေရးအေျဖ
ထြက္ရပ္လမ္းဟာေသခ်ာေပါက္ရိွတယ္
