A UNITED NATIONS resolution on Myanmar, circulated today, is urging renewed efforts to secure peace and condemns attacks on civilians.

The draft resolution, put forward by the British, also calls for an end to the illicit arms trade that has dogged the conflict.

The resolution expresses “alarm at the increased violence across Myanmar,” which is engulfed in civil war between the military-led regime and resistance forces.
