A/HRC/39/64 expedite fair and independent criminal proceedings in national, regional or international courts or tribunals. 107. The Human Rights Council should continue to support the mandates of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Office of the High Commissioner, and ensure they have adequate resources to maintain a strong focus on the human rights crisis in Myanmar. 108. The Human Rights Council should specifically request OHCHR to focus on ensuring accountability for human rights violations and abuses in Myanmar, including by enhanced monitoring, documentation, analysis and public reporting on the situation of human rights; raising awareness among civil society and other actors engaged in documenting human rights violations about relevant international standards; working with victim communities to raise awareness about justice options; and supporting comprehensive rule of law and security sector reform in Myanmar in accordance with international human rights norms and standards. Appropriate resources should be allocated. 109. The Human Rights Council should establish a second fact-finding mission for a limited period to build on the work undertaken by the mission, until either one of the mechanisms outlined in paragraphs 103 and 104 above are operational, or the reinforced work of OHCHR set out in paragraph 107 is in place. 110. The United Nations should urgently adopt a common strategy to ensure that all engagement with Myanmar takes into account and addresses human rights concerns, in accordance with the Human Rights Up Front action plan. This should guide all engagement of the United Nations in Myanmar, particularly in relation to Rakhine State, and include policies and public advocacy stances. All support provided by the United Nations to the Myanmar authorities should undergo a full human rights due diligence analysis. 111. As a matter of urgency, a comprehensive, independent inquiry should be conducted into the involvement of the United Nations in Myanmar since 2011, with a view to establishing whether everything possible to prevent or mitigate the unfolding crises was done, identifying lessons learned and good practices, making recommendations as appropriate, including on accountability, and enabling more effective work in future. 112. The United Nations and the international community must ensure that the repatriation of refugees and the return of internally displaced persons are allowed only when safe, voluntary and dignified, with explicit human rights protections in place, including citizenship. In the current circumstances, such returns are not possible. 113. All Member States should ensure that engagement with Myanmar, and support for aid, development and reform projects, take into account and address human rights concerns and explicitly conform to the principles of non-discrimination and equality. They should ensure that humanitarian organizations working on the situation in Myanmar are appropriately funded. States should cease operational support for the Tatmadaw and other security forces until there is (a) a demonstrable commitment to genuine reform; (b) international assistance in implementing reform; and (c) acceptance of and cooperation with international mechanisms to hold those responsible accountable for crimes under international law. 114. Regardless of the imposition of an arms embargo by the Security Council, States should not authorize the transfer of arms to Myanmar, considering the overriding risk that they would be used to undermine peace and security and in the commission of serious crimes under international law. 115. Relevant regional organizations, including the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), should develop strategies to ensure accountability for perpetrators of crimes under international law in Myanmar, 20
