A total of 290 civil society organizations (CSOs) from Myanmar and around the world have issued an open letter to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and the UN General Assembly, urging an immediate investigation into potential conflicts of interest involving UN Special Envoy for Myanmar, Julie Bishop.
The organizations also demanded the immediate termination of Bishop’s mandate due to her alleged ties to Chinese state-owned companies operating in Myanmar.
Bishop, a former Australian foreign minister, was appointed as the UN Special Envoy on Myanmar in April last year.
