  • Myanmar-MNHRC-Advocacy-Briefing
    FOUR IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENTABLE REFORMS TO ENHANCE MYANMAR’S NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION 12 November 2019 Summary The Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC), Myanmar’s national human rights institution (NHRI), must do better to promote and protect human rights in the face of persistent rights violations and abuses throughout the country. To do so, it must also be empowered by legislative and other measures by the Government of Myanmar to fulfill its mandate independently, impartially and effectively, in line with international standards on NHRIs. The required legal and structural reforms are well known. They were identified by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) in its 2015 accreditation assessment of the Commission. Many of its recommendations were reinforced by the MNHRC’s own self-assessment in 2018. The MNHRC continues to command low levels of public confidence and presently operates with the minimum possible number of appointees (seven Commissioners of a possible 15).1 A central impediment to its effectiveness is a lack of independence, owing largely to flaws in the selection and appointment process of its Commissioners, which also fails to facilitate a gender balance and diversity of backgrounds, and to weak legal protections accorded to the institution under law. The Commission’s mandate, as provided in the 2014 MNHRC Law, and the manner in which that mandate has been interpreted by the Commissioners, serve to limit the MNHRC’s effectiveness. Earlier this year, in an effort to address

Included were 69 students from Thayawady Prison. The release comes a day after newly appointed State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi pledged to strive for the granting of presidential pardon to political prisoners and other political activists deemed to be unfairly detained. Concerning those who remain detained for political reasons but come under the umbrella of people eligible for pardon, the State Counsellor’s Office released a statement on 8 April stating that the cases of those who were attending hearings on 8 April were revoked but the process for dropping charges against those who had not yet been assigned a fixed court date will require further work. Aung San Suu Kyi pledged in the statement that the process for releasing the remaining detainees would be carried out when courts reopened after the Myanmar New Year holidays which ends on 20 April. Many activists and human rights group welcomed the released and urged the new government to end the cycle of political arrest and detention as well as releasing all other prisoners of conscience— including those students who are facing charges in other courts. 2,178 prisoners were also released for good behavior annually granted by the Director-General of the Correctional Department.1 WORLD LEADERS CONGRATULATES PRESIDENT HTIN KYAW US President Barack Obama phoned his Myanmar counterpart President Htin Kyaw on 6 April on the latter’s assumption of the Presidency and to express his support for Myanmar’s new government.

  • A Political Biography of Aung San Suu Kyi; a Hybrid Politician
    A Political Biography ofA Political Aung San Suu Kyi Politics in Asia This book is the first political biography of Aung San Suu Kyi covering both her years in opposition and all her years in power from 2016 onwards. It offers a new interpretation of Aung San Suu Kyi by presenting a balanced and thorough account of Suu Kyi’s policies. In the last 30 years there has not been a person in global politics who has risen so A Political Biography of high and fallen so low – and so quickly – as Aung San Suu Kyi. Using postcolonial theory and introducing the new concept of ‘a hybrid politician’, this book explains apparent inconsistencies of Suu Kyi’s agenda. It demonstrates that Suu Kyi considers Aung San Suu Kyi herself a democrat and yet, rules autocratically. Immersed in her country’s tradition of policymaking, she has at the same time been influenced by foreign concepts, both A Hybrid Politician Western and Asian. Drawing on first-hand research, including talks with Suu Kyi, conversations with her supporters and rivals, observations of Suu Kyi’s behaviour during intergovernmental talks as well as an extensive number of sources and fieldwork in Myanmar, the author argues that Suu Kyi’s case shows both the strengths and limits of hybridity. This brings Suu Kyi priceless political assets such as visibility, recognition and support while proving that such a model of leadership has its restrictions. A timely biography of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate as she appears at the International Court of Justice to defend her country against charges of genocide committed against the Rohingya Muslim minority, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of Myanmar politics, Southeast Asian politics, Asian politics, Political Science more generally, Postcolonial Studies, Cultural Studies and Leadership Studies.
