UN concerned at Muslim-Buddhist clashes in Myanmar

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution late Monday welcoming positive changes in Myanmar but expressing serious concern at an upsurge of sectarian violence between Muslims and Buddhists in strife-torn Rakhine state.

The resolution adopted by the 193-member world body urges government action to improve the situation of the Rohingya Muslim minority “and to protect all their human rights, including their right to a nationality.”
