  • 1 Myanmar Update
    Myanmar Update – 15 February 2021 Summary • The Myanmar coup will likely lead to escalating civil resistance and a consequent heavy- handed military response. • The military will continue to expand control over the internet – leading to frequent “blackouts” • Monitoring the human rights situation as well as providing aid and development support will become increasingly difficult in the months ahead. Background to the November 2020 Elections Myanmar experienced five years of relative political stability after the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Armed Forces) handed power to State Counsellor (a position roughly analogous to Prime Minister) Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) following the November 2015 elections – which ended almost 50 years of military rule. Even then, however, the Tatmadaw retained substantial power, including the right to appoint a quarter of parliamentarians and control of key ministries. Elections to both Myanmar’s upper house - Amyotha Hluttaw - and lower house - Pyithu Hluttaw – took place on 8 November 2020. Suu Kyi’s NLD won a popular landslide, taking 161 (of the 224) seats in the Amyotha Hluttaw and 315 (of the 440) in the Pyithu Hluttaw, an even larger margin than in 2015. This equated to 83% of the available seats, while the Tatmadaw’s proxy, the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), won a total of just 33 seats. The USDP immediately began making accusations of fraud after the vote although the Union Election Commission said there was no proof to support these claims and there has been little or no independent evidence either. The Tatmadaw also disputed the results, claiming that the vote was fraudulent, perhaps fearing that the NLD, with its majority, would amend the constitution to reduce the Tatmadaw’s political influence – a longstanding NLD campaign pledge.

  • Burma's Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Assembly of the Union) Has Been the Country's First Experience of a Functioning Legislature for Almost Four Decades
    Burma’s Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: a young legislature in a changing state By Liam Allmark Beginning in 2011, the inaugural session of Burma's Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (Assembly of the Union) has been the country's first experience of a functioning legislature for almost four decades. After General Ne Win's 1962 coup d'état abolished the post-independence parliamentary system, legislative power was exercised by the military through a succession of internal structures, appointed councils and single-party bodies. Tentative moves towards restoring an elected assembly in 1990 were quickly aborted by the ruling regime when the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) secured a resounding majority of the vote. Consequently many of those who won seats spent the following years in prison or exile. This picture finally began to change with the adoption of a new constitution in 2008 establishing today's system of 'disciplined democracy'. Elections were held to the new Pyidaungsu Hluttaw in 2010 and since members took their seats at a purpose-built complex in Naypyidaw the following year, this young legislature has become a focal point of Burma's shifting political landscape. Parties and elections Whilst the military no longer exercises direct and complete control over Burma's legislative system, it nevertheless retains considerable influence: 25% of members in the 440 seat lower chamber (Pyithu Hluttaw, or House of Representatives) and the 224 seat upper chamber (Amyotha Hluttaw, or House of Nationalities) are Defence Service personnel directly appointed by the Commander-in-Chief. This is particularly significant given the requirement for any constitutional amendments to be approved by more than 75% of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, effectively creating a military veto.

  • Myanmar's Constitution of 2008
    PDF generated: 14 Apr 2014, 20:52 constituteproject.org Myanmar's Constitution of 2008 This complete constitution has been generated from excerpts of texts from the repository of the Comparative Constitutions Project, and distributed on constituteproject.org. constituteproject.org PDF generated: 14 Apr 2014, 20:52 Preamble Myanmar is a Nation with magnificent historical traditions. We, the National people, have been living in unity and oneness, setting up an independent sovereign State and standing tall with pride. Due to colonial intrusion, the Nation lost her sovereign power in 1885. The National people launched anti-colonialist struggles and National liberation struggles, with unity in strength, sacrificing lives and hence the Nation became an independent sovereign State again on 4th January 1948. In order to gain independence speedily, the Constitution was hastily drafted, and it was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 24th September 1947. After attaining independence, Parliamentary Democracy System was practised in the State in accord with the Constitution of the Union of Myanmar. However, as democratic system could not be effectively materialized, the new Constitution of the Socialist Republic of the Union of Myanmar was drafted based on the single party system, and after holding a National Referendum, a socialist democratic State was set up in 1974. The Constitution came to an end because of the general situation occurred in 1988. Later, due to public aspirations, the State Peace and Development Council made efforts to adopt multi-party democratic system and market economy in accord with the National situation. As an enduring Constitution, that guarantees long-term benefits, has become essential for the future nation, the State Peace and Development Council convened the National Convention in 1993.

  • Myanmar Media: Legacy and Challenges
    MYANMAR MEDIA: LEGACY AND CHALLENGES MARIA OCHWAT* Abstract: For nearly fifty years Myanmar was ruled by a military junta. It did not tolerate any criticism, and severely punished anyone who dared to oppose them. At the same time, it cut the country off from the rest of the world, preventing it from being informed about Burma’s internal situation. The announcement of the changes came when Thein Sein’s first civilian government was formed in 2011. Almost 10 years have passed since then and Myanmar, according to the Press Freedom Index, is considered to be one of the countries where freedom of speech and freedom of the media are commonly violated and journalists are often persecuted and punished. Freedom of expression is one of the pillars of a democratic society, the basis for its development and a condition for the self-fulfillment of the individual. One of the most important ways of exercising freedom of speech is through free and independent media. The issue of respect for freedom of expression and freedom of the media must be seen in a broader context. It should be noted that there is a close link between respect for human rights and peacekeeping. Although freedom of expression, and thus freedom of the media, is one of those freedoms which may be restricted in specific situations, it cannot be done arbitrarily. Under public international law the exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

  • 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

  • Chronology of Burma's Constitutional Process
    Chronology of Burma’s Constitutional Process February 12, 1947: While Burma is still under British colonial rule, the Panglong Agreement is signed by Burmese leader General Aung San and several ethnic nationality leaders from the Shan, Kachin, and Chin areas. The agreement is designed to hasten independence from the British and avert ethnic tensions in the new Burma, as recognized in paragraph 7 that states, “Citizens of the Frontier Areas shall enjoy rights and privileges which are regarded as fundamental in democratic societies.” July 19, 1947: General Aung San and several members of the cabinet are assassinated in Rangoon. U Nu and his Anti-Fascist People’s Freedom League (AFPFL) prepare to take power from the British by finishing Burma’s first constitution. January 4, 1948: Burma gains independence from British rule and institutes the 1947 constitution. The new constitution and its federal structure included the Shan state, Karenni state, Kachin state, and Karen state, with the Chin Hills being classified as a “special division.” The constitution granted the right of secession to special division states after 10 years (chapter 10, articles 201-206) subject to a majority vote in the state assembly and majority in a plebiscite. March 2, 1962: The military Revolutionary Council under General Ne Win overthrows the constitutionally elected civilian government. December 15-31, 1973: The Revolutionary Council conducts a referendum to endorse the new constitution, which is carried by over 90 percent of the vote in a process that many international observers do not assess as fair. March 1974: Burma’s second constitution is implemented, transferring power from the Revolutionary Council to the Burma Socialist Program Party (BSPP).
