Burma/Myanmar at the ILO Governing Body, 24 March, 2005

Description: 

The ILO Governing Body today reactivated the ?measures” contained in the International Labour Conference (ILC) resolution of June 2000. In fact, as the Conclusions of today?s meeting state, the measures have never ceased to be in force. The ?reactivation” consisted in affirming that no adequate moves have been taken by the Burmese military regime (the ?Government” of Myanmar) to reduce forced labour in Burma/Myanmar, and that there is therefore no reason not to apply the ?review of relations” requested in the 2000 resolution. The ILO press release (Document 1, below) helps to clarify the Conclusions, Document 2, and the ILC 2000 resolution (Document 3) sets out the ?measures”. Document 4 consists of links to the ILO reports submitted to the March 2005 session of the Governing Body, its Conclusions, and the ILO section of the Online Burma/Myanmar Library.
