Impact of COVID-19 pandemic Myanmar is sparing no effort to prevent and fight back the scourge of the COVID-19 global pandemic. (...)

It is noted, however, that the emergency assistance envisaged by the V/32 mechanism includes (i) a rapid assessment to estimate the magnitude of damage that has occurred or damage that may occur and the measures needed to mitigate and prevent (further damage); (ii) emergency measures to prevent or mitigate the damage; (iii) broker activities to help find those Parties and other entities in a position to give the assistance needed. The emergency assistance activities envisaged thus need to be put in place very soon after the occurrence of the incident, in order to effectively respond to, prevent, and mitigate, any damage which has been caused. (...) Accordingly, the outcome of the mission’s findings were applied to develop medium to long-term recommendations to prevent future such emergency situations by, for example, improving the capacity of Côte d’Ivoire to respond to similar incidents.

Those who absent themselves before torture occurs, when they were able to prevent it or ascertain that it would occur, are subjected to imprisonment for one to four years. (...)
