Statement by His Excellency U Nyunt Maung Shein, Ambassador / Permanent Representative and Leader of the Myanmar Delegation at the 298th Session of the ILO Governing Body

Description: 

"...There is a continuing trend of constructive engagement in Myanmar's relations with the ILO since the 95th Session of the International Labour Conference of June 2006. All three pending cases involving Su Su Nway, Aye Myint and the Aung Lan case have been resolved as requested by the International Labour Conference. A moratorium of six months which was announced by Myanmar in June 2006 on a trial basis for not taking action against false complaints of forced labour was extended in December last year, pending the establishment of a mechanism to address cases of forced labour. An ILO Mission led by the Senior Advisor to the Director-General, Mr. Francis Maupain visited Yangon in October 2006 to commence negotiations with the Myanmar side on an Understanding which would establish the mechanism to deal with complaints of forced labour..."
