Coinciding with the opening of the Beijing Olympics on August 8, 2008, this group of organizations will launch an international campaign to bring Burma's General Than Shwe and the military regime in Burma to justice. This petition urges the United Nations Security Council to uphold its international legal obligations under Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 1820 on women, peace and security and 1674 on civilians in armed conflict by referring the situation in Burma to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in order to end impunity for Senior General Than Shwe and his military junta.
