Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United Nations Security Council should immediately impose an arms embargo against the military of Burma.

Sponsored By: Representative Tenney, Claudia [R-NY-24]

Introduced

Summary

An immediate arms embargo on Burma’s military is the core aim of this resolution. It would ask the United Nations Security Council to stop weapons and military equipment reaching the Tatmadaw and to hold it accountable for lethal force, mass detentions, and internet and media shutdowns.

Show full summary
  • Civilians and ethnic minorities: Would aim to reduce the Tatmadaw's ability to acquire arms and press accountability for abuses affecting the Rohingya, Karen, Rakhine, and Kachin communities.
  • Humanitarian workers and people in need: Would push for consistent, unimpeded humanitarian access to populations described as being in dire need.
  • Pro‑democracy leaders and protesters: Would make lifting the embargo contingent on a permanent cease-fire and the release of detained elected leaders such as Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint.
  • International actors and the UN Security Council: Would urge immediate UN action and tie any lifting of restrictions to verified steps toward restored internet access, a credible transition to civilian rule, and accountability for abuses.
