UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres on Tuesday warned that the crisis in Myanmar threatens the stability of the region and the rights of millions, Anadolu Ajansi reported.

“This crisis, which has deepened since the 2021 military takeover, tramples on the human rights, dignity, and safety of millions and threatens regional stability,” Guterres said in remarks delivered on his behalf by Chef de Cabinet Courtenay Rattray at the UN High-Level Conference on the Situation of Human Rights of Rohingya and Other Minorities in Myanmar.
