A/HRC/42/50 to the International Criminal Court. The mission again recommends that the Council resolve to refer the Myanmar situation to the Court or to establish an ad hoc international criminal tribunal. The Council should also impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans against alleged perpetrators of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. It is incumbent upon the Council, as the United Nations body with primary responsibility for peace and security, to act. 124. Myanmar should turn to the international community for assistance, and the international community should continue to provide its support for genuine efforts to address impunity and to promote justice in Myanmar. 125. The mission reiterates the recommendations it made in its previous report, as well as those made in its complementary papers on the economic interests of the military and on sexual and gender-based violence, and the gendered impact of ethnic conflicts in Myanmar.9 126. In addition, the mission is cognizant of the fact that with the termination of its mandate, an important investigation, monitoring and reporting function will be left unfulfilled. It therefore calls upon the Human Rights Council to exercise its prevention role, to contribute, through dialogue and cooperation, towards the prevention of human rights violations and respond promptly to human rights emergencies.10 127. In this spirit, the mission also calls upon the Human Rights Council to continue to monitor the situation in Myanmar, including progress on accountability, to react promptly and decisively to early warning signs of impending human rights crises, and to take all steps necessary to prevent violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including by creating new mandates or expanding existing ones. Similarly, the mission calls upon the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to continue to monitor the situation in Myanmar closely, to advocate for accountability and to consider issuing regular public reports, in accordance with the global mandate of the High Commissioner. 9 10 20 A compilation of all the recommendations made by the fact-finding mission will be circulated in document A/HRC/42/CRP.6. See General Assembly resolution 60/251, para. 5 (f).
