- To suspend all international representation of the military junta and prevent any representative of the junta in any regional and international meetings and events;
- To cut the revenue streams of the inhumane military and its leader and affiliates effectively. It is also important to make sure that the countries in the region cooperate fully and strictly in this regard;
- ASEAN steps up further to end the military dictatorship in Myanmar including preventing any representative of the military junta in its meetings and reviewing Five-point Consensus;
- The United Nations, in particular, the UN Security Council act swiftly all possible measures including through utilization of the principle of R2P by sending troops and military supplies to the united ethnic and democratic forces;
- Taking the example of providing assistance to Ukraine, please provide needed assistance financially and in kind to the people of Myanmar; and
