WASHINGTON - A group of 32 U.S. senators is urging the Obama administration to support a United Nations investigation into possible war crimes in military-run Myanmar.
The Republican and Democratic senators said in a letter Friday to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that the creation of such a U.N. commission would help convince Myanmar "that we are serious about our commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law" in the country also known as Burma.
Myanmar has been accused of using child soldiers, destroying minority villages and using rape as a weapon of war.
