"1. The National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) was formed with the goal of eliminating all forms of dictatorship, including military dictatorship, and of building a new, federal democratic union. The NUCC’s convening of the First People’s Assembly from 27-29th of January 2022 represents a historic milestone toward this noble goal. 2. On that occasion, the First People’s Assembly adopted seven resolutions, including a solemn pledge to ratify the Federal Democratic Charter. 3. The NUCC maintains a steadfast commitment to undertaking revolutionary actions that further nationwide inclusion, equality, peace, and the building of a Federal Democratic Union in full and equal partnership with dedicated revolutionary organisations, many of which have been active for over seven decades. Any actions that would serve to revitalise the undemocratic, militarydrafted 2008 Constitution - a constitution which the military terrorist junta itself violated and which has since been abolished by the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) - are fundamentally incompatible with the NUCC’s shared goals and principles. 4. The 22 April 2022 invitation to in-person dialogue issued to ethnic revolutionary organisations by the terrorist military dictator Min Aung Hlaing represents just another disingenuous and hollow attempt to use the pretence of dialogue as a mean to finding temporary relief to the political, military, diplomatic and economic catastrophe it has brought upon itself. Legitimate political dialogue with a military terrorist junta that continues to oppress and attack our people is an impossibility. 5. This most recent invitation is but one in a litany of failed attempts at peace dialogue between 2010 and 2020 - dialogues undermined by limitations established by the now abolished 2008 Constitution. Furthermore, by seizing power from the legitimate government under the flawed pretext of the 2008 Constitution, the terrorist military junta has made clear that it has no genuine desire to achieve a nationwide, sustainable peace and democracy. 6. The NUCC notes with appreciation those ethnic revolutionary organisations who have definitively rejected the invitation issued by the terrorist military dictator Min Aung Hlaing as of the date this statement is issued. 7. The NUCC hereby condemns the disingenuous invitation to so-called peace talks issued by the military terrorist junta. The NUCC restates its call for all political forces, ethnic revolutionary organisations, and people’s resistance forces to stand with the people and resist all forms of dictatorship, including military dictatorship..."
