The small voice of this blog, BIRCHES, contributes its support for the position taken by the European Union:
EU warns Myanmar of a "crime against humanity"
"The European Union has warned Myanmar's military leaders that they could be committing "a crime against humanity" by blocking aid deliveries to cyclone survivors. The European Development Commissioner, Louis Michel, is on his way to the former Burma to try to convince them to open up their borders."
The denial of assistance to its own people from the outside world is ipso facto a Crime Against Humanity. Refusing to allow delivery of life-saving food , water, and medical supplies to suffering people, is a crime. The US and its allies should take the initiative in pursuing these charges in the World Court.
