Even Myanmar lectures the Third Committee (the one devoted to humanitarian affairs) of the General Assembly on human rights. Rather than own up to its frightening human rights violations, Myanmar claims that it "has long been a victim of a systematic and well-orchestrated disinformation campaign launched by anti-government elements, generously funded by some Western quarters." Like other human rights violators, they call for "universality, impartiality, objectivity, non-selectivity and non-politicization" when discussing human rights in order to avoid ever being named as a violator.
