Myanma Port Authority Challenges In Myanmar Port Infrastructure Development • Most of terminals are located close to the downtown area which caused congestion as well as traffic and port congestion . • Inadequate dredging capacity ( incapability of keeping certain depth of channel(especially outer bar ) due to lack of efficient dredger rather than the existing inefficient small dredgers. • Inadequate cargo-handling equipment and machinery in order to meet current demand of port users (to upgrade existing port facilities). Myanma Port Authority Challenges In Myanmar Port Infrastructure Development • To attract private investment in port infrastructure development (Who invests where ?). • Need to consolidate similar types of terminals in groups in order to get a larger scale and safety . • Need to upgrade human resources (unskilled and untrained labour) related to port industry . • Lack of monitoring upon KPI of each terminals although the capacity is still enough for this current situation in order to cope the possible booming trade. Myanma Port Authority Challenges In Myanmar Port Infrastructure Development • Back up areas of every container yards can’t cope the containers in order to handle empty which is accumulated due to trade deficit . • Conflict of interest and policy between state and regional government has been facing due to insufficient collaboration and cooperation. • Public awareness upon maritime industry is needed to be raised such as environmental impacts.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014, and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is now my hope that the main results, both Union and each of the State and Region reports, will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national and sub-national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and officers at the State/Region, District and Township Levels, and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census. The technical support and our strong desire to follow international standards affirmed our commitment to strict adherence to the guidelines and recommendations, which form part of international best practices for census taking.

KULLANDER & FANG FANG Department of Vertebrate Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, PO Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Danio aesculapii, new species, is described from small rivers on the western slope of the Rakhine Yoma in south-western Myanmar. It is superficially similar to D. choprae from northern Myanmar in having a series of vertical bars anteriorly on the side, but differs from it and other species of Danio in having six instead of seven or more branched dorsal-fin rays, and from all other species of Danio except D. erythromicron and D. kerri in having 12 instead of 10 or 14 circumpeduncular scale rows. Key words: Rakhine Yoma, Thandwe, Danio choprae, endemism Introduction The cyprinid fish genus Danio Hamilton includes 14 small species in South and Southeast Asia (Kullander et al. 2009), as a rule diagnosable by distinct species-specific colour patterns. About half of the species of Danio have a pigment pattern that consists of one or more dark or light horizontal stripes (Fang, 1998). Among the others, Danio kyathit Fang differs in having the stripes broken up into rows of small brown spots, D. margaritatus (Roberts) has a pattern of small light spots on the sides, D. dangila (Hamilton) has rows of dark rings with light centres, and D.

  • Report of Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar
    A/HRC/39/64 Advance Edited Version Distr.: General 12 September 2018 Original: English Human Rights Council Thirty-ninth session 10–28 September 2018 Agenda item 4 Human rights situations that require the Council’s attention Report of the independent international fact-finding mission on Myanmar* Summary The Human Rights Council established the independent international fact-finding mission on Myanmar in its resolution 34/22. In accordance with its mandate, the mission focused on the situation in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan States since 2011. It also examined the infringement of fundamental freedoms, including the rights to freedom of expression, assembly and peaceful association, and the question of hate speech. The mission established consistent patterns of serious human rights violations and abuses in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan States, in addition to serious violations of international humanitarian law. These are principally committed by the Myanmar security forces, particularly the military. Their operations are based on policies, tactics and conduct that consistently fail to respect international law, including by deliberately targeting civilians. Many violations amount to the gravest crimes under international law. In the light of the pervasive culture of impunity at the domestic level, the mission finds that the impetus for accountability must come from the international community. It makes concrete recommendations to that end, including that named senior generals of the Myanmar military should be investigated and prosecuted in an international criminal tribunal for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. * The present report was submitted after the deadline in order to reflect the most recent developments.
