Pro-democracy activists working for a democratic Burma, gain allies in five jurists from Great Britain, Mongolia, South Africa, the US, and Venezuela. The jurists want the UN Security Council to establish a Commission of Inquiry to probe crimes against humanity committed by Burma's State Peace and Democratic Council (SPDC), as contained in several reports.
"The world cannot wait while the military regime continues its atrocities against the people of Burma," added the jurists, who include South Africa’s Richard Goldstone, Britain’s Sir Geoffrey Nice and Venezuela’s Pedro Nikken. "The report’s findings are both disturbing and compelling."
