The Ekklesia website reports today (September 23, 2010) that a human rights Non Governmental Organization (NGO) says international support is growing for the establishment of a United Nations Commission of Inquiry to investigate crimes against humanity in Burma.
A total of ten governments -- the United States, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Australia, Hungary, France, Canada, the Netherlands, and New Zealand -- are now calling for an inquiry.
The NGO has been campaigning for the establishment of a UN Commission of Inquiry for several years.
Benedict Rogers, Christian Solidarity Worldwide's East Asia Team Leader, said: "A full international legal investigation into the regime's widespread use of rape as a weapon of war, forcible conscription of child soldiers, use of forced labor, torture, destruction of villages, and killings is much needed and long overdue."
