The new resolution calls for the secretary-general of Myanmar, or his envoy, to report back to the UN by March 15, 2023, in coordination with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. 

UN's biggest problem is that they react in terms of years not days and human beings die while they pontificate and have a few dinner events etc for chats about it all.
