A/HRC/16/59 103. In past reports, the Special Rapporteur has emphasized the important need for justice and accountability measures for Myanmar as well as access to the truth. While he has repeated that it is foremost the role of the Government to undertake these necessary measures, he has also noted that the responsibility falls to the international community if the Government fails to do so. In this respect, the Special Rapporteur has suggested the establishment of a commission of inquiry, as an option among others. While the Government has responded that allegations of violations of human rights are investigated already by competent authorities, in the context of the gross and systematic nature of human rights violations in Myanmar over a period of many years, the Special Rapporteur reiterates that it is essential for investigations of human rights violations to be conducted in an independent, impartial and credible manner, without delay. 104. Following the review of Myanmar under the universal periodic review mechanism, the Special Rapporteur hopes that the new Government will accept recommendations to ratify the two core human rights covenants as well as the other key human rights treaties. 105. Regarding the right to education, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government of Myanmar: (a) Significantly increase funding for education, and improve the efficiency and equity of that funding to ensure better availability and accessibility of schools for all children and to deliver truly free and compulsory primary education for all; (b) Access and utilize all available resources by ensuring that revenues from all development projects appear transparently on the national budget to allow the parliament and civil society to monitor Government spending effectively; (c) Enable teachers to teach by paying them reasonable salaries and by providing appropriate and adequate professional training and development opportunities; (d) Provide good quality teaching and learning materials through a thorough review and reform of the curricula and pedagogy methods involving professional experts in education; (e) Revise the language-instruction policy to reflect international standards regarding cultural rights; (f) Invest in children’s health and nutrition, which directly impact on their ability to claim their right to education; (g) Strengthen monitoring and evaluation independent courts, in the delivery of education. 20 mechanisms, including
