Director-General condemns the killing of Japanese photo journalist Kenji Nagai in Myanmar: UNESCO-CI http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=25463&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
UNESCO Remembers Assassinated Journalists: UNESCO-CI "dedicated to journalists who were assassinated in the exercise of their profession. It remembers their contribution to freedom of expression, democracy and peace." http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=16998&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
The failure of the international community to prevent the massacre following the 1988 people's uprising causing the death of over 3000 protestors must not be repeated. The world is watching and while the time for mere words has passed, decisive action is now needed. No state can condone such actions. I therefore echo the United Nations Secretary-General and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights' recent press statements and recall that the use of excessive force, killings, arbitrary arrest or ill-treatment of peaceful protesters is strictly prohibited under international law and could invoke individual criminal responsibility.
