Myanmar's military commanders should be financially "isolated" and brought to trial to face charges of war crimes and genocide against the Rohingya minority, UN investigators said Tuesday.
The United Nations fact-finding mission on the situation in Myanmar called on the international community to cut off all financial and other support to the country's military.
Marzuki Darusman, who heads the fact-finding mission which just concluded a 10-day visit to surrounding countries, said drastic measures were needed since Myanmar so far had done little to resolve the egregious rights situation in the country.
"There has been no movement toward a resolution of the crisis," Darusman said in a statement. "The situation is at a total standstill."
