Two bodies have now emerged in the new government's administrative structure that observers say will have powers that reach—either directly or indirectly—above and beyond the powers of the new civilian executive and legislative branches. The first is the 8 member State Supreme Council, not mentioned in the 2008 Constitution. The second is the 11 member National Defence and Security Council (NDSC), which is in the 2008 Constitution and will be led by Thein Sein. “The State Supreme Council will become the highest body of the state. While it will assume an advisory role to guide the future governments, the body will be very influential,” says a source close to the military. The members of the State Supreme Council will include: 1 Sr-Gen Than Shwe former SPDC Chair (78) 2 V-Sr-Gen Maung Aye former SPDC Vice-Chair (74) Speaker, Pyithu 3 Thura Shwe Mann former SPDC member, General (64) Hluttaw 4 Thein Sein former SPDC Lt-Gen (66) President 5 Thiha Thura Tin Aung Myint Oo former General (61) Vice-President 6 Tin Aye former SPDC Member, Lt-Gen Ordinance A yet unidentified senior military 7 general A yet unidentified senior military 8 general As required by the 2008 Constitution, the NDSC will be made up of: 1.

The Vice-President said that the purpose of the meeting was to explain the progress of the government’s peace measures, to rally the participation of all stakeholders in peace making process in regions where initial peace deals have been reached and to acquire suggestions of how to establish peace in regions where it has yet to be established.1 He explained that the peace-making process has 3 steps, which include discussions at 1) the State level, 2) the Union level and 3) the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw level.2 He added that the reason why the government is committing to peace is to develop the socio-economy of the country as the over 50-year armed conflicts have wasted time and wealth of the country. Therefore, he urged efforts to fulfil the socio economy needs of those who exchanged arms for peace. Finally, the Vice-President stated that the government is committed to peace and stressed the importance of peace to bring about the development of Burma and get it off of the LDC list, and called on those present to make an all-out effort to achieve these goals.3 HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION ISSUES STATEMENT ON KACHIN STATE VISIT, KACHIN WOMEN’S GROUP DEMANDS MHRC CONDUCTS IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION INTO ABUSES The Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MHRC) published a statement on 14 August regarding their visit to Kachin State from 23 to 27 July where they met officials from the regional government as well as witnesses of human rights violations.

  • San San Win, Dr
    Dagon University Research Journal Vol.10 57 Political Development in Myanmar since 2011 San San Win 1 Abstract Since 2011, the new democratic government or semi-civilian government led by President U Thein Sein had conducted democratic reforms which ended fifty years of authoritarian rule. As a result, western countries lifted sanctions and provided economic assistance to Myanmar. Myanmar’s relations with western countries also improved significantly. Besides, under the civilian government since March 2016, a more open democratic environment has emerged. Despite existing challenges, the government has tried hard for democratic transactions under the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. So, this paper focuses on political development in Myanmar since 2011 under the two democratic governments. Keywords: Myanmar, democracy, reforms, politics, development, relations Research Questions The research questions brought up for this paper are: How did Myanmar’s political culture change from authoritarian rule to democratic one? What are the basic causes for development of cordial relations with western countries? How did the situation of politics under the two democratic governments develop? And what are the challenges for both governments in nation building and foreign policy processes? Research Method This research will be conducted through critical analytical method. Most of the analysis will mainly refer to the newspapers of Myanmar, prior researches, books, periodicals, journals, website & online sources. Hypothesis Since 2011, Myanmar’s political culture peacefully changed from authoritarian rule to democratic one, and both the two democratic governments (USDP and NLD) tried to develop nation building, state building and foreign policy processes. Introduction Since early 2011, Myanmar has embarked on a remarkable path of political and economic reforms, departing from five decades of authoritarian rule.

  • U.S. Policy Towards Burma: Issues for the 113Th Congress
    U.S. Policy Towards Burma: Issues for the 113th Congress Michael F. Martin Specialist in Asian Affairs March 12, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43035 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress U.S. Policy Towards Burma: Issues for the 113th Congress Summary U.S. policy towards Burma has undergone a discernible shift in its approach since a quasi-civilian government was established in March 2011. While the overall objectives of U.S. policy towards the country remain in place—the establishment of civilian democratic government based on the rule of law and the protection of basic human rights—the Obama Administration has moved from a more reactive, “action-for-action” strategy and a skeptical and cautious attitude towards the newly created Union Government and Union Parliament to a more proactive mode. The new approach is designed to foster further reforms based on some form of partnership with the Union Government, headed by President Thein Sein. During the last two years, the Obama Administration has conducted much of its policy towards Burma using existing constitutional and legal authority, while regularly consulting with Congress about the actions taken. The 112th Congress passed five laws containing provisions related to U.S. policy in Burma. Three laws—P.L. 112-33, P.L. 112-36, and P.L. 112-163—extended the general import ban contained in Section 3 of the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003 (2003 BFDA, P.L. 108-61) which is subject to annual renewal. P.L. 112-74 placed restrictions on the use in Burma of appropriated funds for certain Defense and State Department programs.
