BANGKOK, Mar 12 (AFP): A UN special envoy upped pressure on Myanmar's ruling junta Friday with a pre-election call for an investigation into whether the regime is guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Tomas Ojea Quintana made the recommendation in a report to be examined next Monday by the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, noting "systematic violation of human rights" when he visited the country in February.
