This resolution states that the United Nations Security Council should impose an arms embargo on Burma’s military, known as the Tatmadaw. It says the embargo should remain until the Tatmadaw agrees to a permanent cease-fire, releases elected leaders, allows humanitarian aid and restores internet access, and takes steps toward civilian rule. It also calls on the international community to support civilians and encourage peace talks. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The resolution calls for action by the United Nations and the international community. It does not itself impose an arms embargo or create direct changes for people in the United States.
