Global Action for Burma (GAB): EU must take the next

stronger step

26 April 2010

Global Action for Burma (GAB) calls for European Union (EU) to take
the next stronger step which should be EU stands firmly on the position
that it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010 election & its results.

We welcome EU council Resolution on Burma but we want to see action.


Now is the very important time for Burma. We want the EU to know
that they must be realistic in dealing with junta.

International community including EU has been calling for junta to


enter the dialogue with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led democratic groups.

In reality, junta doesn’t have the will to find the solution peacefully and it
is the one turning its back on dialogue table. It has now been 20 years
international community calling for junta to enter dialogue.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi once said that-

“We (NLD) have done everything we can to try to bring about a dialogue
that will help us find solutions to the problems of our country. It is the
military regime that is opposed to dialogue. We would like the world to
look clearly at what is happening and to see where the inflexibility really
lies. The National League for Democracy (NLD) represents the people of
Burma and their desire for a fair, just, democratic government”.

Junta always ignores the international community calls to enter dialogue


knowing that it is only words without action. Burmese people suffer
more and more in the mean time and junta gained enormous profit from
international community’s honey glazed approach.

Global Action for Burma (GAB) is founded with democratic and ethnics organizations based inside Burma and in abroad
working collectively together to free Burma to restore democracy, human rights and rule of law, and to establish genuine
democratic federal union where everyone can enjoy freedom of speech, press, beliefs, assembly and rule of law that
emphasizes the protection of individual rights.
We’ve had enough with military regime and we want to see real change
in Burma. We also wanted to see international community supporting us
with action rather than words.

We want to see EU takes brave next step rather than wondering around
maintaining sanction on Burma. Even though we support sanction, but it
won’t bring about real change in Burma.

Global Action for Burma (GAB) would like to see (3) practical steps EU
would take in order to bring about genuine change in Burma, i.e.

1. EU must declare that it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010


election and its results.

2. EU must call for implementation of 1990 election results and


actually supporting the democratic groups attempting to
implement these results.

3. EU must declare that it is ready to endorse Aung San Suu Kyi led
government as the legitimate government of Burma if should the
one be formed.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD), the
victors of 1990 elections decided unanimously to boycott the junta’s
planned sham 2010 election.

Without the participation of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, without the
participation of National League for Democracy (NLD), and without the
participation of 1990 election winning parties, junta’s planned election
in 2010 is clearly not creditable.

The essence of planning to hold election in 2010 is just to nullify 1990


election results in order to legitimise military rule in Burma by excluding
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and political activists in the Burma future.

Global Action for Burma (GAB) is founded with democratic and ethnics organizations based inside Burma and in abroad
working collectively together to free Burma to restore democracy, human rights and rule of law, and to establish genuine
democratic federal union where everyone can enjoy freedom of speech, press, beliefs, assembly and rule of law that
emphasizes the protection of individual rights.
Global Action for Burma (GAB) would like to raise (5) points why EU
should declare it won’t recognise junta’s planned 2010 election and its
results, i.e.

1. 1990 election results are still yet to be honoured

2. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and thousands of dissidents are still in
prisons

3. National League for Democracy boycott junta’s planned election

4. 2008 constitution is designed to legitimised military rule in Burma

5. Electoral laws are unfair and undemocratic

Whenever we talk about Burma crisis, we end up saying bringing Burma


case to discuss at the UNSC. After that we end up saying China and
Russia would block with veto. It is like never ending circle and we have
to end this.

Now, we have the new approach which will by-pass UNSC or China and
Russia veto. If international community endorse Aung San Suu Kyi led
government as the legitimate government if should the one be formed,
then it will be the answer for Burma crisis.
