BANGKOK: Myanmar's ruling military on Saturday (June 7) hit back at a UN resolution aimed at curbing labour violations in the war-torn nation, calling it "politically motivated".
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) on Thursday invoked Article 33 of its constitution which could see sanctions imposed against the military authorities which seized power in a 2021 coup.
