    TERMS OF REFERENCE Assignment Title Parliamentary Committee Specialist Type of Contract Framework Agreement Start/End Dates 5 May 2019 – 15 December 2020 Assignment Bracket Intermediate-level expert / Specialist Number of working days Up to 18 months / 360 days Supervisor Sub-national Parliament Specialist Duty Station Yangon, with travel to Nay Pyi Taw, Rakhine, Mon, Shan, Mandalay, and other Regions and States 1. Background The Constitution of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (the Constitution) came into force in 2008. Chapter 4 of the Constitution establishes parliaments (Hluttaws) at two levels. The national level- Union (Pyidaungsu) Hluttaw comprises two Hluttaws, Pyithu Hluttaw (House of Representatives) and Amyotha Hluttaw (House of Nationalities), that are generally equal in status. The term of the Union Hluttaw is 5 years from the day of the first session of the Pyithu Hluttaw. The Constitution has also established sub- national Hluttaws comprising one Hluttaw for each of the fourteen Regions and States. The Union and Region/State Hluttaws are independent institutions with different political compositions and mandate, but their administrative support is provided by national-level civil service staff, under the guidance of the Permanent Secretary of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw. Myanmar’s Hluttaws are very young institutions, currently in their second 5-year term, which has started in February 2016. Under UNDP’s Support to Effective Responsive Institutions (SERIP) and Strengthening Accountability and Rule of Law (SARL) projects, UNDP provides support to developing Myanmar’s Hluttaws committee systems and practices to ensure parliaments are able to use their committees in effective policy review, legislative review, budget review and oversight processes.

  • Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia: a Comparative Analysis of Transitional Countries’ Development
    Discussion Paper No.19 Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia: A Comparative Analysis of Transitional Countries’ Development Edited by Aziz Ismatov and Emi Makino August, 2020 Nagoya University Center for Asian Legal Exchange Center for Asian Legal Exchange (CALE) Nagoya University, Japan Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia: A Comparative Analysis of Transitional Countries’ Development Edited by Aziz Ismatov and Emi Makino FOREWORD This research discussion paper provides a study on theory and practices of constitutional review developments in five selected Asian jurisdictions, Myanmar, Singapore, Korea, including Russia and Uzbekistan, which in some scholarly works are also addressed as Eurasia. The objective is to create systematic narratives to document theoretical grounds and practical aspects of constitutional review, collect and present to a broader audience comparative, historical, analytical, and critical perspectives covering constitutional judiciary in Asia. We hope that this collection will be of high interest for scholars, practitioners, and students of comparative constitutional law, human rights, democracy, the rule of law, constitutional adjudication, and Asia’s legal systems. The general philosophy of constitutional review presupposes that constitutional courts are established to limit or balance executive and legislative branches’ activities. In such circumstances, scholars and practitioners expect that constitutional courts would work as neutral arbitrators among the two branches. Simultaneously, the vital role of the constitutional court which is a protection of fundamental rights is sometimes neglected within the broader context of political involvement. Contributors to this discussion paper were all invited to attend the workshop on Emergence and Features of the Constitutional Review Bodies in Asia held at the Department of Law, University of Yangon, on October 22, 2019, and present their draft papers for this workshop.

  • Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Burma/Myanmar's
    BN 2021/2033: 31 Mar 2021 Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: Burma/Myanmar’s legitimate government until parliament resumes On 1 February 2021, the Burma military (Tatmadaw) violated the 2008 Constitution— which it wrote—when it detained the elected parliament, usurped the Presidency, and seized power. It thus has practical (de facto), but not legal (de jure), authority. Millions have protested the junta, with daily demonstrations nationwide. The Tatmadaw and its security forces have responded violently to maintain power, killing at least 521, injuring many more, and detaining at least 2,608 politicians, activists, journalists and others. The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) is the legitimate interim government of Burma. These 378 MPs—i.e., 76% of elected parliamentarians— stepped up to govern and officially swore themselves in on 4 February, despite the junta’s attempts to detain, incapacitate, or otherwise silence them. The CRPH enjoys popular legitimacy and increasing international recognition. It cements its legitimacy and ensures democratic steering of Burma’s future by consulting civil society, ethnic leaders, and the Civil Disobedience Movement. The CRPH has taken important governing measures, including on policing, local administration, interim appointments, foreign investments, repercussions for the junta, and deferment of taxes and loan repayments for civilians. The CRPH has committed to forming a unity government and federal military. CONTENTS On 1 February 2021, Burma’s military (Tatmadaw) detained
