UN Experts Urge More Help for Human Rights Defenders in Myanmar

UN experts said on Friday human rights defenders documenting and responding to atrocities by Myanmar’s military junta urgently need comprehensive support, including financial, and called on the international community to end apparent indifference to the violence targeting the country’s population.

“In the face of inaction by the international community, and with human rights violations continuing to be perpetrated on a daily basis by the military junta, human rights defenders are persisting in their support for those targeted and working to preserve the possibility of justice in the future,” said Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders.

Along with Tom Andrews, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, Lawlor highlighted the grave risks defenders face and the specific challenges confronting women human rights defenders.

“Defenders have been murdered and disappeared by the military since the coup took place. They now risk arrest, detention, torture, including sexual violence and death when going about their work and fear having their documents seized at military checkpoints,” the experts said. “Many have had to go into hiding after being targeted by the military for assisting survivors of gender-based violence. They are on the move constantly, and women human rights defenders often have no choice but to take their children with them when they flee.”

Others have had to relocate to neighbouring countries, where they remain vulnerable.

Lawlor and Andrews said they had publicly expressed concerns for the safety of defenders in the country just over a year ago.

“What’s needed is concrete support for Myanmar human rights defenders, including those who have had to flee the country: stronger, coordinated pressure on the junta, timely and responsive direct financial support for defenders on the ground, and visas or resettlement for those fleeing the country,” the experts said.

“The international community must not adopt a passive stance when it comes to the crimes that are being perpetrated by the military junta and the risks for human rights defenders in Myanmar.”

Time to tackle the demand-side of the energy transition, Schneider Electric says

  • Senior Schneider executives at Climate Week NYC to advance the energy debate
  • Solutions for environmental, social and economic progress exist


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 19 September 2022 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today issued a rallying cry for governments, companies and individuals around the world to wake up to the huge – but often still under-estimated – role they can play in building a more electric, digital and energy-resilient future.

“Weaning the world off fossil fuels is essential, but it will take time – and time is running out when it comes to climate change.,” said Gwenaelle Avice-Huet, Schneider Electric’s Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer. “The good news is that there are solutions we can leverage today. In particular, there’s much more we can do to optimize how energy is consumed in the first place. This demand-side of the energy equation is a powerful lever, and one that deserves much more action and attention than it is currently getting.”

Ms Avice-Huet was speaking on the eve of Climate Week NYC 2022, which she and several other senior Schneider Electric will attend. The event, on September 19-25, brings together influential climate action leaders from business, government, and the climate community to promote climate action and awareness.

This year’s event takes place against the backdrop of a dramatically disrupted global energy landscape. Soaring energy prices have highlighted that the energy transition needs to be not only about the environment, but also about society and addressing the unequal and often very painful economic toll the crisis is taking.

“Energy insecurity is a global and growing reality we can’t ignore,” said Ms Avice-Huet, “As an impact company we’re acutely aware that we’re not here to simply raise the alert on the issues, but that we need to deploy our insights and know-how to deliver actual solutions and bring everyone along the path to sustainability.”

Schneider Electric founded its own Sustainability Research Institute in 2020 to reinforce its contributions to the climate and energy debate. The institute’s reports offer valuable insights and policy recommendations on the untapped potential of electrification, digitization, efficiency and circularity. Its research team has been expanded significantly since its creation and regularly collaborates with external research partners and influencers such as the World Green Building Council and BloombergNEF.

Schneider Electric is widely recognized for being a corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) leader and enabler. Earlier this summer, the company confirmed its commitment to reach net zero across its entire value chain by 2050 by becoming one of the first few organizations in the world to have that commitment validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Schneider’s products, software and services help its customers and partners to speed up their decarbonization efforts and attain greater resilience. The company will announce a string of innovations for efficiency and sustainability during its flagship annual Innovation Summit World Tour customer and partner event, which kicks off on October 12.

To develop the RCEP market, Dongfeng Motor Corporation shows multiple star products at CAEXPO

WUHAN, CHINA – Media OutReach – 19 September 2022 – On September 16, the 19th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) lasting four days was opened in Nanning, Guangxi. Themed “Sharing the RCEP new opportunity and promoting China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Version 3.0”, such CAEXPO attracted over 50 countries and regions to participate in the expo.

This year is the opening year when RCEP becomes effective and the China-ASEAN comprehensive strategic partnership is started. To seize such opportunity of CAEXPO and further promote the integrated development of regional industrial chains and supply chains, SASAC organized relevant authorities and resources to select a batch of central government-owned enterprises which have relatively strong technical strength and frequently cooperate with foreign companies. The joint exhibition zone for central government-owned enterprises was set up at CAEXPO. As a representative enterprise in the Chinese automobile industry, Dongfeng Motor Corporation was selected into such zone. Dongfeng Motor Corporation presented such products as its commercial vehicles, passenger cars, farm machineries, parts, etc. in a collective manner to the expo with the Group’s overall image. By synchronously setting up indoor and outdoor booths, it exhibited 9 finished automobiles, 4 sets of critical assemblies, two farm machineries and over 70 parts to comprehensively showcase the technical achievements of Dongfeng Motor Corporation’s technological innovation “Leap” initiative by orienting to the market in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Dongfeng Motor Corporation held the VOYAH new product introduction meeting oriented to the overseas market customers on the day of the opening ceremony of CAEXPO. VOYAH is a high-end intelligent luxury electric powered MPV. Equipped with Dongfeng’s autonomously developed dual-power electric driving ESSA architecture, VOYAH supports such two power systems as the pure-electric power system and intelligent multi-module driving power system. It is the only electric MPV which is equipped with a dual-power system layout in the industry. It aims to build perfect driving and riding experiences for commercial reception and family travel.

Dongfeng Motor Corporation introduced such products as Dongfeng Aeolus HAOJI, GS MAX, FORTHING Yacht, etc. to the customers in the ASEAN in a focused manner.

HAOJI is a brand new high-end hybrid SUV which is built by Dongfeng with great efforts. Bearing the Mach power assembly autonomously developed by Dongfeng, with an acceleration response time of only 0,15s and a fuel thermal efficiency of up to 41,07%, HAOJI is able to extend with multiple platforms such as hybrid power system, hydrogen energy power system, etc. It can meet power needs of such models as HEV, PHEV, REV, etc., so it is widely popular with the customers and is called “the fighter’s engine”.

Dongfeng Aeolus GS MAX which was designed in a fully new manner has the widest car body among the vehicles of the same class. Bearing the “Chinese heart” Top 10 engine 1,5T Mach power system and 7DCT300 gearbox golden power assembly, it has adequate power and low oil consumption and is highly safe, comfortable and smart, thereby sufficiently embodying the latest technical achievements for “electrification, intelligence orientation, networking, sharing and light weight orientation” of Dongfeng Motor Corporation.

FORTHING Yacht is a 7-seat family vehicle specially built by Dongfeng for family travel. Its design is greatly innovative and the brand new concept of “FENG Dynamic” is applied, so it attracted great attention from the customers in ASEAN on the site.

In the markets in such countries as Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines, etc. of ASEAN, Dongfeng commercial vehicles have outstanding quality, a leading market share and a widely positively evaluated comprehensive service capability. At the outdoor booth of CAEXPO, Dongfeng launches such 5 best selling commercial models as D760, D320, D560, etc. Of these models, the 6×4 D760 tractor, as the major exhibition vehicle at the outdoor booth, is the representative product of the Dongfeng Dragon flagship series and is the choice of efficient power and excellent performance for the customers in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

In addition, FORTHING T5 EVO SUV and such two MPVs as FORTHING Yacht and FORTHING M7 and 3 representative products such as Lapras Heavy-duty Truck were exhibited at the outdoor booth of Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile Co., Ltd. Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile Co., Ltd.’s products are safe, reliable, efficient, energy conserving and comfortable, thereby presenting diversified choices of value to the customers in the ASEAN market and being widely popular with the customers in the ASEAN.

Over recent years, Dongfeng Group has proactively responded to the “Going Abroad” national strategy. Its products were sold to over 100 countries including all countries in the ASEAN, etc. Additionally, it globally cooperated and collaborated with over 10 international finished automobile and parts enterprises. From January to August in this year, Dongfeng Motor Corporation exported 124000 vehicles which increased by 90% compared to the same period of the last year, representing a good development trend.

In the future, Dongfeng will continue to apply technical achievements of the “Wind blows in the east and technology leaps” initiative to such international markets as ASEAN, etc., thereby playing a greater role in the joint building of the “Belt and Road Initiative” and the promotion of regional economic cooperation and prosperity.
