UN special envoy for Myanmar to step down: UN chief spokesman
The United Nations’ special envoy for Myanmar, Noeleen Heyzer, will be stepping down in June after an 18-month tenure marked by criticism from both the military junta and its opponents.
The crisis in Myanmar, which began when the military seized power in February 2021, continues to escalate despite diplomatic efforts led by the UN and ASEAN. Heyzer’s departure comes as the search for a resolution and lasting peace in the country remains elusive.
