Dear Secretary General Ban Ki-moon:
We applaud your strong commitment to advancing gender equality and your leadership in promoting the critical role of women's participation in establishing lasting peace and security. In furtherance of this important principle, we urge you to take immediate action to denounce Myanmar/Burma's 2010 elections which are based on an illegitimate constitution that violates international law and the rights of the people of Myanmar/Burma. In particular, we draw your attention to the violations of women's fundamental human rights to political participation, political representation, and justice for the regime's use of systematic sexual violence, as guaranteed in CEDAW and Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 1820.
