1. The Karen National Union welcomes the statement by the European Union of 11th June 2009, calling on the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to refrain from seeking military solutions against ethnic minorities, and to respect international humanitarian and human rights law.
2. The KNU believes that the situation in Karen State and other ethnic states is a serious crisis that has been ignored by the international community for far too long. The situation warrants international intervention, including by the European Union and United Nations Security Council.
3. The new military offensive against our people should be halted immediately, and Burmese Army’s soldiers should withdraw from Karen state.
4. The KNU repeats its call for the SPDC to enter in genuine dialogue. The KNU stands ready to enter into such dialogue at any time.
5. The KNU is a democratic organisation committed to human rights and democracy in Burma. We are working towards a Federal Burma where all people live in peace, democracy and harmony.
