In a statement, the 15-member council "expressed concern about reports of excessive violence during the security operations and called for immediate steps to end the violence in Rakhine, de-escalate the situation, re-establish law and order, ensure the protection of civilians."
British UN Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said it was the first time in nine years the council had agreed a statement on Myanmar.
