Amnesty International said Suu Kyi and her government were “burying their heads in the sand” for ignoring the role of the army in the violence. Suu Kyi did not address that but said her government was committed to the rule of law. Suu Kyi, 72, said her government had been making every effort to promote harmony between the Muslim and largely Buddhist ethnic Rakhine communities. Suu Kyi said her government was committed to recommendations made by an advisory team led by former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan. Suu Kyi said diplomats could visit the conflict zone and she called for support for her government's efforts to end conflict across the country.
