BURMA: TIME FOR ASEAN TO BITE THE BULLET

ဖော်ပြချက်/အကြောင်းအရာ: 

• ASEAN and its dialogue partners must adopt a common position to ensure that the Burmese military regime delivers genuine reforms within a clearlystated timeframe to strengthen and complement UN efforts. • The common position must guarantee an inclusive process that allows key stakeholders such as the National League for Democracy (NLD) and ethnic nationality leadership to work freely as genuine partners with the military regime. • ASEAN and its dialogue partners must publicly support the solutions proposed by the democracy movement that focus on a transitional powersharing formula, and encourage the Burmese junta, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), to be part of the solution. • The Burmese regime?s oppressive roadmap should be abandoned in its current state - it has intensified the problems besieging Burma, which in turn threaten regional human and economic security. • The roadmap has been a disaster for Burma. Since its introduction in 2003: o Military offensives against civilians in Eastern Burma have intensified and increased crackdowns on ethnic groups have threatened resurgence of warfare in other areas. o Economic mismanagement and rampant corruption have worsened, driving a possible 50% of the population below the poverty line. o Decaying morale, diversion of resources to the army and oppressive interference has gravely damaged public institutions and the rule of law.
