Description:
Summary:
"The recent wave of reforms has had a positive impact on the situation of human
rights in Myanmar. The upcoming by-elections on 1 April 2012 will be a key test of how
far the Government has progressed in its reform process. There is, however, a risk of
backtracking on the progress achieved to date. At this crucial moment in the country?s
history, remaining human rights concerns and challenges should be addressed, and justice
and accountability measures, as well as measures to ensure access to the truth, should be
taken."
