| Title: | | Robbing the Future - Russian-backed Mining Project Threatens Pa-O Communities in Shan State, Burma
|
| Date of publication: | | June 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
"The transformation of Mount Pinpet, or "Pine Tree Mountain," in Burma's war-torn Shan State, for the excavation and refinement of the country's second largest iron ore deposit is changing the very nature of life there, and if not stopped could permanently destroy the home of more than 7,000 primarily ethnic Pa-O residents.
Since 2004 Russian and Burmese companies have been preparing to develop the deposit and are currently building an iron processing plant and a cement factory on a total of 11,000 acres of lands. An Italian company is also believed to be involved in the project.
Although there has been a ceasefire in the area since 1991, the military ruling Burma has established three sizeable battalion camps and two military universities in or around the nearby towns of Taunggyi and Hopone. Fighting has flared up south of the project site and has led to recent torture and killing of villagers by the Burma Army.
Twenty-five villages, a total of 7,000 people, could be permanently displaced from their homes and farmlands by the projects. A further 35,000 people rely on the watershed of the Thabet Stream in the valley east of the mountain.
Fifty people have already been forced to move and were not adequately compensated. The confiscation of vital farmlands has begun, leaving over 100 families without the primary source of their livelihood and sustenance. Travel restrictions have closed down a major road and prohibited villagers from collecting firewood, food, and shelter materials on the mountain.
The entire mountain of Pinpet will be excavated for this project, irrevocably changing the landscape and environment of the area. Pollution from mine tailings and erosion of mine heaps threaten the main water source of Hopone Valley. Ancient pagodas have been cracked and may be demolished altogether by explosions to prepare construction sites and begin excavation.
Local communities have not been informed or consulted about project plans and complaints to authorities about the confiscation of lands and lack of compensation have not been addressed. No assessments of the projects have been made public and mining authorities are pushing ahead by using the force of armed local military to relocate families, confiscate lands, restrict movements, and intimidate communities.
The lack of information is compounded by persistent speculation that the mining operation is in fact being set up to exploit and refine uranium, not only iron ore and limestone. These fears are fueled by Burma's announcement in 2007 that Russia is to build a nuclear reactor in the country.
The companies responsible for these projects should stop all activity and first conduct thorough and transparent assessments of the projects' environmental and social impacts; adequate compensation should be provided for those who have already lost their homes and lands; to assuage fears, all nuclear and uranium mining plans should be made public; and, such projects should not be conducted under the force of military power.
The Pa-O Youth Organization stands with its community to protect livelihoods, land ownership, and cultural heritage, and calls on regional and international actors to inspect the Pinpet projects and use their influence to ensure respect for the rights of affected communities." |

| Title: | | BURMA/MYANMAR: Views from the Ground and the International Community
|
| Date of publication: | | 08 May 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | On May 8th, 2009 the Atlantic Council of the United States, the US-ASEAN Business Council and NBR in cooperation with Refugees International convened this forum to inform policymakers about the situation in Burma/Myanmar and the international response. Representatives of the international community, humanitarian workers with on-the ground experience, experts, and the policy community in Washington D.C. joined together for an off-the record discussion. Experts and aid workers addressed questions about the humanitarian situation, which is on the verge of crisis, highlighting what programs are successful and where the needs are greatest. Members of the international community shared their approaches and explored avenues for better international coordination.

| Description/subject: | | "Can efforts to relax US sanctions against Burma stay afloat in the wake of John William Yettaw’s fateful swim across Inya Lake?...
NOBODY knows for sure what inspired John William Yettaw to don a pair of homemade flippers and swim across Inya Lake to the home of Burmese democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi. But if his intention was to frustrate efforts to open a new chapter in US relations with Burma’s ruling regime, all we can say is: Mission Accomplished.
Suu Kyi enters the Insein Prison building where the trial is being held.
Of course, Yettaw should not be the one held accountable for the hardening of attitudes toward the Burmese junta in the wake of this incident. For that, Burma’s generals have only themselves to thank..." |

THE ruling generals in Naypyidaw must be smiling as their nemesis goes to trial charged with a crime that they did nothing to prevent. In Burma, that is the kind of perversion of justice that truly delights the country’s brutal junta.
The case against Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been accused of violating the conditions of her house arrest by allowing a “guest” to stay overnight in her home, is as ludicrous as it is outrageous. But the people of Burma are not laughing, because they know the consequences of this absurd episode could be deadly serious..." |

One of the greatest obstacles to a return to normalcy has been the reluctance of international donors to fund projects that depend on the cooperation of the Burmese junta. Among humanitarian relief agencies, a debate is raging about how to respond to the needs of the people of the delta, while addressing concerns that aid could be misused by the regime.
Here is a selection of comments from people engaged in this ongoing discussion, which could have long-term implications for Burma’s social, political and economic development..." |

| Title: | | Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in Myanmar
|
| Date of publication: | | 01 June 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | Summary:
"The present report, which has been prepared pursuant to Security Council
resolution 1612 (2005), covers the period from 1 October 2007 to 31 March 2009
and is the second report on children and armed conflict in Myanmar to be presented
to the Security Council and its Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict.
The report provides information on the grave violations against children in
Myanmar and identifies State and non-State parties to the conflict responsible for
such violations. It highlights the fact that United Nations agencies and its partners in
Myanmar remain constrained by the absence of an agreed action plan and access and
security impediments which present a challenge for effective monitoring and
reporting efforts, and for the provision of a comprehensive account of grave
violations being perpetrated by a range of armed forces and groups in Myanmar.
The report notes various levels of contact and some progress in establishing
child protection dialogue between the United Nations Resident Coordinator, the
United Nations country team, the country task force and the Government, as well as
some ceasefire groups. It also recognizes several important ongoing initiatives by the
Government of Myanmar to address the issue of underage recruitment into military
service since my first report and pursuant to Security Council Working Group
conclusions, including actions to discharge underage children, and training and
awareness-raising activities for military personnel on international and national law
on the prevention of recruitment of children.
The report stresses the need for the Governments concerned to facilitate
dialogue between the United Nations and the Karen National Union and Karenni
National Progressive Party for the purposes of signing an action plan in accordance
with Security Council resolutions 1539 (2004) and 1612 (2005), following their
initial deeds of commitment.
Finally, the report contains a series of recommendations aimed at securing
strengthened action for the protection of children in Myanmar." |

| Title: | | A Struggle between Truth and Injustice - A Comprehensive Report on The Unfair Trial of Democracy Leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
|
| Date of publication: | | 19 June 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
"Due to intrusion of an American citizen into her residence compound in May 2009,
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was taken into custody by the State Peace and Development Council.
She, not her guards, was accused of violating terms of her house arrest, a sentence she began
serving approximately six years ago. The recent trial of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi appears
politically motivated and is a way for the SPDC to continue her custody from Insein prison.
Since the beginning of her house arrest in 2003, the SPDC declared Daw Aung San Suu
Kyi’s detainment was a temporary 'protective custody.' Her original sentence was extended
last year, although current laws in Burma suggest an extension was illegal. This year the
SPDC is attempting to extend her detention under the pretext of a show trial in order to
prevent her participation in the current political process and 2010 parliamentary election. The
military regime may be attempting to permanently purge Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from
Burma's political scene.
The National League for Democracy (Liberated Area) compiled data and information
regarding Daw Aung San Suu Kyi' trial. This report demonstrates this trial is politically motivated,
procedures and sentencing do not follow existing Burmese law, highlights the
weaknesses and injustices in the legal process of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s trial, and shows
how flawed the legal system in Burma is under the SPDC military rule. It also points out the
'crisis of Constitution', the term Daw Aung San Suu Kyi used to symbolize the trial.
This comprehensive report includes transcripts of the trial of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
and her two colleagues that reside in her residence. This report includes information from
sources inside Burma and refers to articles printed in the state-run news paper 'New Light of
Myanmar'..." |

| Title: | | A Governance Gap: The Failure of the Korean Government to hold Korean Corporations Accountable to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises Regarding Violations in Burma
|
| Date of publication: | | 15 June 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | Executive Summary: "This report is intended to inform the upcoming meetings of the OECD Investment
Committee in Paris, France in 2009. It documents substantive errors in the Korean NCP’s
interpretations of the OECD Guidelines, and its failure to achieve functional equivalence
with other NCPs. EarthRights International (ERI) and the Shwe Gas Movement (SGM)
request the Investment Committee to address the governance gap within the OECD
Guidelines system of implementation by acknowledging the Korean NCP’s errors in
interpretation, and by clarifying certain aspects of Guidelines with respect to the Korean
NCP’s decision in the Shwe case.
Chapter 1 provides an updated context of the situation in Burma, highlighting the
environmental and human rights, political, and economic situations, with particular
attention to updates on the impacts of natural gas development in the country.
Chapter 2 describes the OECD Guidelines specific instance procedure and the
complaint filed by ERI and SGM et al. in October 2008.
Chapter 3 explains structural shortcomings and conflicts of interest at the Korean
NCP, noting that these are problems that appear to pervade the NCP system, raising
important questions about the ability of the Guidelines to have their desired effect.
Chapter 4 describes specific substantive problems with the Korean NCP’s
decision in the Shwe case, noting how the NCP decided in favor of the companies on
every count, concluding that the complaint did not merit further attention.
Chapter 5 highlights the ways in which the Korean NCP’s decision is
inconsistent with decisions of other NCPs, most notably with decisions by the French and
UK NCPs.
Chapter 6 makes specific requests of the OECD Investment Committee with
respect to clarifying certain aspects of the Guidelines and taking effective action to
improve the performance of the Korean NCP.
Appendix A of this report is an unofficial English translation of the Korean NCPs
decision. The text of the complaint filed by ERI and SGM et al. is available at
www.earthrights.org." |

Kyaw Ye Min ["...Thai government’s current stand on
Myanmar shows that it is not a good
neighbouring country of Myanmar...Though
the relations between Thailand and Myanmar
were good during the time of the former prime
minister, at present the relations between the
two countries are under strain which had been
unprecedented in the history.
There should be a conviction that as we
are neighbouring countries we can ignore each
other, but we cannot deny the fact that we are
neighbours. As we are sharing a common land
border we will be always neighbours till the end
of the world. It is impossible to change this
situation. Hence, it is specially required to show
amicable relations, friendly acts and right stand.
Myanmar’s internal affairs will never be a threat
to the region although Thailand has expressed
concern. The government of Thailand should
believe that with Thailand’s right stand and
good neighbourliness, the two countries can
sort out any problems. Our stand is that we
want to maintain the amicable relations...". Contains references to the tria;l of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the KNU]..."Mandalay-Lashio-Muse Union Highway

| Title: | | Authorities concerned warn those in charge of NLD youth branch, NLD CECs regarding announcement dated 2 June issued by youth taskforce of NLD
|
| Date of publication: | | 06 June 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | "...Regarding the intrusion case of US citizen Mr.
John William Yettaw, the paragraph 2 of the announcement
No. 01/06/09 released by the youth tasks
undertaking group of NLD mentioned that the case
against Daw Khin Khin Win and Daw Win Ma Ma
including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was being heard
under Article 22 of the Law to Safeguard the State
Against the Dangers of Those Desiring to Cause Subversive
Acts without attendance of the public at the
special court in the Insein Jail.
In reality, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s case is
being tried at the special court with the court decision
for the application of prosecution law officers and the
crime of security violation. Although the trial is taking
place at the special court, court reporters have been
appointed and daily court hearings are reported in
newspapers. Moreover, diplomats and local and foreign
correspondents are allowed to visit the court
occasionally. Therefore, the people are informed about
the case in time. As stated in the announcement of the
youth branch, there has been no report yet on the side
of the accused that the people have no chance to know
about the case. Therefore, the announcement with
false accusations against the measures the court is
taking in accord with the law is tantamount to disturbing
the court and the existing laws..." |

| Title: | | INDIA-MYANMAR RELATIONS (1998-2008): A DECADE OF REDEFINING BILATERAL TIES
|
| Date of publication: | | February 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | Abstract
India-Myanmar rapprochement began in 1991 and gained momentum in the latter part of the decade, as evidenced in the growing political, economic and military cooperation since 1998. This paper argues that it was during the period between 1998 and 2008 that the bilateral relationship withstood the test of critical events. Furthermore, expansion and diversification of these bilateral ties tookplace during the very same period. The paper identifies some issues that could emerge as potential fissures to upset the relationship. In conclusion, the paper suggests that it is high time the leadership of the two countries initiated measures to address these issues. As the stakes increase for both countries, it is imperative for them to ensure the sustenance of the hard earned relationship.. |

| Title: | | SPDC’S 2010 ELECTIONS: UPHEAVAL IN THE MAKING
|
| Date of publication: | | 30 May 2009 |
| Description/subject: | | • Burma’s State Peace and Development Council’s (SPDC’s) preparations to
ensure full control over the 2010 election is fueling instability, with
consequences that will dramatically intensify the cross-border economic and
security issues already adversely affecting the region.
• The expected outcome of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s trial, coupled with lengthy
jail terms imposed on about 300 activists in the past year, will exclude the
most viable pro-democracy opposition candidates from the electoral process.
• This has destroyed hopes that the 2010 elections, despite its obvious flaws,
would somehow lead to incremental steps towards democratization and
urgently-needed reforms. Those who have grudgingly accepted the 2010
elections will now be pressed to choose between resistance and surrender.
• The SPDC’s recent ultimatum to key ethnic ceasefire groups to surrender
control of their forces and participate in the elections is expected to provoke
a resumption of armed conflict.
• Growing political and military tensions between the junta and ethnic groups
and continued aggression against ethnic civilians is projected to create new
waves of refugees flooding over Burma’s borders.
• Migrants are being pushed back into Burma because of job losses caused by
the global economic crisis. This will be another factor in increasing domestic
unrest. A significant number will be vulnerable to recruitment as soldiers by
the SPDC Army, its proxies, and ethnic resistance groups.
• Reduced remittances from overseas workers have intensified the rapidly
deteriorating economic situation. This, along with the SPDC’s failure to
address economic woes, is likely to trigger renewed social unrest.
• The regime’s violent response to these developments will likely devastate
Burma’s fragile stability and intensify cross-border impacts on neighbors
already reeling from the impacts of the global economic crisis.
• Meanwhile, the 2010 elections are likely to widen the gap between SPDC
Army’s top officers and the rank and file. Once appointed to the Parliament,
high-ranking military officers will gain additional influence, power, and
money-making opportunities. By contrast, the SPDC Army’s rank and file will
remain in their miserable and increasingly deteriorating situation.
• It is imperative that regional and global political pressure be generated and
focused on ensuring that the regime engages in a durable solution that will
avoid such destruction. First steps towards the solution will involve the
release of all political prisoners including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi who
commands broad trust and respect across key stakeholder groups, an
inclusive review of the 2008 Constitution, and measures to guarantee that a
subsequent electoral process will be free and fair. |
