In his report to the General Assembly (A/59/269), the Secretary-General indicated that the citizens of Myanmar had endured unnecessary social and economic hardship because of the absence of an all-inclusive process of democratization and national reconciliation in their country and that their predicament had been compounded by economic policies that had prevented the majority of them from improving their livelihoods.
