Crimes against humanity

The report, a documentation by researchers from John Hopkins University in America, and an organization of Burmese volunteers called the Emergency Assistance Team – Burma (EAT), in its recommendations, said the junta should be referred to the International Criminal Court, by the United Nations Security Council, for committing crimes against humanity.

“If we want to sort out the problems of the country and head towards the future, the NLD totally accepts the fact that it won’t succeed without including ethnic nationalities. We don’t just think that because of [Union] Day, we have always supported Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s stance on ethnic nationalities. We have been attentive to the unity of nationalities, their affairs and their political aspirations since the time of general Aung San’s Panglong treaty. We are still serious about the issue when we talk about it today. I have already understood and accepted that if we want to solve the problems of the country and the union, and carve out a path in the future, unless we include the issues and the desires of ethnic nationalities, nothing can happen. We must try to consolidate our union, not with slogans but with a spirit of unity and empathy.”

U Win Tin (NLD)

နအဖအေနနဲ႔ အတိုက္အခံ ႏိုင္ငံေရး အင္အားစုေတြနဲ႔ ပူးေပါင္းေဆာင္ရြက္ရမယ့္ နည္းလမ္းတခုဘဲ ရွိပါတယ္။

ဒီလိုလုပ္တာဟာလည္း ဒီမိုကေရစီက်င့္သံုးတဲ့ လူ႔အသိုင္းအဝိုင္းထဲမွာ လူအခ်င္းခ်င္း၊ အသင္းအဖြဲ႔အခ်င္းခ်င္း ယိုင္းပင္း ပူးေပါင္းရမယ္ဆိုတဲ့ အေျခခံမူနဲ႔ ကိုက္ညီေနပါတယ္။

တခ်ိန္တည္းမွာဘဲ အတိုက္အခံ ႏိုင္ငံေရးအင္အားစုေတြက တိုင္းရင္းသားေတြရဲ႕အခြင့္အေရးအတြက္ လက္နက္ကိုင္ တိုင္းရင္းသားအဖြဲ႔ေတြကို သူတို႔ယံုၾကည္လက္ခံလာေအာင္ အာမခံေပးလာႏိုင္မွာ ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ ဒါဆိုရင္ ျပည္တြင္းမွာ စစ္ေရးပံုစံ ၿပိဳင္ဆိုင္တာေတြ မရွိႏိုင္ေတာ့ပါဘူး။ ဒီေနာက္မွာေတာ့ ပင္လံုစာခ်ဳပ္လိုမ်ဳိး ေနာက္တႀကိမ္ ထပ္ခ်ဳပ္ႏိုင္ဖို႔ လြယ္ကူသြားပါၿပီ။

“The first message is about her (Daw Aung San Suu Kyi”s) health situation. She is healthy. The second point is intra-party affairs. Regarding these, Daw Suu said that she supported the party CEC on their current position and on their political attitude, political stand, political history among others.”

“The third message she gave us is on ‘the rule of law in Burma‘. She pointed out that the most crucial factor in Burma is the rule of law. She also said that this is the prime work we have to do.”

U Win Tin, (NLD)

“A dialogue will be practical and successful only if the discussions are based on the reality of the prevailing conditions.”

“I would like to emphasize that there will be no success if it is based on idealism and unrealistic conditions.”

Junta’s Information Minister Kyaw Hsan (the state-run New Light of Myanmar quoted  as saying)
