According to the news outlet, before taking action on the
draft resolution, U Htin Lynn, Myanmar’s permanent representative to the UN,
made a statement rejecting the resolution – saying, some paragraphs of the
draft are “highly intrusive and directly challenge the state sovereignty of
Myanmar.”
U Htin Lynn reportedly warned that the Myanmar government
will not accept any attempt 'infringing on the state sovereignty of Myanmar'
Myanmar has rejected a draft resolution on the situation
of human rights in the country, tabled by the European Union (EU), according to

(UNHRC) in Geneva, writes Xinhua

U Htin Lynn reportedly warned that the Myanmar government
will not accept any endeavour “infringing on the state sovereignty of Myanmar”
– saying, Myanmar is ready “to work with the international community in their
constructive approaches that would help overcome national reconciliation,
peace, development and humanitarian challenges” of the country.

rejected another resolution of the UNHRC with regard to the Rohingya crisis,
but pledged “efforts to address the challenges of Rakhine state.” The
resolution was tabled by member states of the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC).
