Governments concerned about war crimes and crimes against humanity in Burma should move beyond mere condemnation and establish a United Nations commission of inquiry as follow-up to a UN expert's report on Burma released today, Human Rights Watch said today.

I have received your response to my letter of August 11, 2010 regarding the urgent need for a United Nations Commission of Inquiry into recent and ongoing serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law in Burma.  We must admit to disappointment at your apparent lack of interest in strong and timely EU action on this important matter.

Thank you for inviting Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the International Crisis Group to appear before Sri Lanka's Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC). As the invitation notes, we all closely follow developments in Sri Lanka, and we remain committed to helping the Sri Lankan people find a just and peaceful way forward from the decades of civil war and violence they have suffered. Unfortunately, we are compelled to decline the Commission's invitation.

Indonesia's signing of the international convention on enforced disappearances should encourage the government to take action to resolve ongoing cases in the country.
