Book excerpt: The sudden and unexpected democratic transition, which opened Burma's frontier to the world, was welcomed by democracy advocates everywhere. We are all pleased that Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi is finally free. The regime released nearly 30,000 jailed citizens, of which 1,071 were political prisoners; however, over the last year or so, nearly 1,000 Rohingya and 200 Kachin prisoners of conscience of have been arrested and detained for their religion or ethnicity, or for practicing their right to freedom of assembly. The escalation of human rights abuses committed by the Burmese military and the civil unrest between Burma's Buddhist majority and Muslim minority is threatening the progression of future political reforms. The rise of anti-Muslim violence, some of which evidence shows was perpetrated by the Burmese military, has so far displaced over 250,000 individuals, destroyed over 10,000 homes, and killed nearly 300 people. The political and social situation in Burma is extremely fragile, and there is still much work to be done.

Book excerpt: An accurate and objective assessment of the status of human rights, civil unrest, and political reform in Burma is critical to congressional oversight of the Obama Administrations conduct of U.S. policy towards the country, as well as any congressional examination of U.S. policy towards Burma. The Obama Administration and many other observers have focused their analysis on the apparent progress that has been made since Burmas military junta transferred power to a new, quasi-civilian government in 2011. These analyses highlight the countrys political reforms and human rights improvements, while acknowledging that the situation remains fragile and reversible. This book examines the current situation in Burma from the implicit perspective shaped by U.S. laws setting policy toward Burma, and discusses the challenges of responding to reforms in a nation in political transition which has gone only part way to dealing with human rights abuses.

This book examines the current situation in Burma from the implicit perspective shaped by U.S. laws setting policy toward Burma, and discusses the challenges of responding to reforms in a nation in political transition which has gone only part way to dealing with human rights abuses. In general, these laws establish a set of standards or thresholds to achieve before the sanctions are lifted and bilateral relations are normalized. Based on the criteria enumerated in these laws, this book reviews: (1) prospects for an end to internal inter-ethnic conflict and national reconciliation, which appear slim in the short-run; (2) the critical political forces in Burma, which do not currently share a common vision or path towards a democratic civilian government; and (3) the ongoing problem of human rights abuses in Burma.

Book excerpt: U.S. policy toward Burma has been to promote the establishment of a democratically elected civilian government that respects the human rights of the Burmese people, according to State. Since 2011, Burma has been in transition from military, authoritarian rule toward parliamentary democracy. Congress included a provision in statute for GAO to review U.S. democracy programs in Burma. This report examines (1) USAID and State democracy projects, including coordination of these projects; (2) steps USAID and State have taken to help ensure that U.S. democracy projects and the U.S. Strategy for the Promotion of Democracy and Human Rights in Burma (Burma Democracy Strategy) address and support the specified purposes and groups, respectively, for Burma assistance funding; and (3) USAID and State efforts to ensure that U.S. democracy assistance is not provided to prohibited entities and individuals. GAO reviewed relevant agency documents; conducted fieldwork in Burma; and interviewed officials in Washington, D.C., and Burma.

Book excerpt: A genuine democracy movement lives in Burma, but it continues to be brutally suppressed by the ruling military government. In 1990, the National League for Democracy (NLD)-led by Aung San Suu Kyi-won 82 percent of the seats in a multiparty parliamentary election. The regime ignored the elections and the democratically elected representatives never took office. Aung San Suu Kyi, who was imprisoned after violent government-orchestrated attacks on democracy supporters on May 30, 2003, has spent more than half of the past fourteen years under house arrest. Burma remains one of the most tightly controlled dictatorships in the world. Recognizing that democracy and the NLD cannot survive in Burma without the help of the United Sates and the international community, the Council-sponsored Independent Task Force on Burma sounds a clarion call for change. In response to the governments recent crackdown on the democratic opposition, the Task Force urges the United Nations to call for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners, and to impose sanctions on Burma, including bans both on new investment in Burma and on the importation of goods produced in Burma. The Task Force report also offers specific recommendations for U.S. policy in four areas: humanitarian assistance; promoting democracy, human rights and the rule of law; narcotics control policy; and refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons. Led by Mathea Falco, president of Drug Strategies and former assistant secretary of state for international narcotics matters, this bipartisan Task Force comprises members with a wide range of experience in international business, law, government, media, academia, publichealth, and human rights advocacy, among other areas. Its recommendations are intended to inform U.S. government action as well as to increase U.S. cooperation with other countries, especially in Asia, to bring about a long overdue political, economic, and social transformation of Burma.
