| Title: | | Current Realities and Future Possibilities in Burma/Myanmar: Options For U.S. Policy (Task Force Report update)
|
| Date of publication: | | 26 October 2010 |
| Description/subject: | | "In September 2009, Barack Obama’s administration announced a new U.S. policy direction
for relations with Burma/Myanmar. Over the past year, this new course has moved the United
States away from previous efforts to isolate Burma’s ruling generals, balancing economic sanctions
with “pragmatic engagement” and initiating efforts to expand channels of communication with
the military leadership at higher levels of authority.
Against this backdrop, the Asia Society established a Task Force on U.S. Policy toward
Burma/Myanmar in the fall of 2009 to assess the shift in American policy and provide concrete
recommendations for how the United States could best approach this new path of engagement.
The Task Force’s report, Current Realities and Future Possibilities in Burma: Options for U.S. Policy,
was released in March 2010.1
With elections set to be held on November 7, the first in Burma in 20 years, this update
provides an overview of key developments in Burma since the Task Force’s report was published.
For reasons outlined here, it is clear that the upcoming elections will not be inclusive or fair. In
short, Burma’s military leaders have willfully ignored calls from the international community to
allow the full participation of opposition leaders and ethnic minorities in the elections..." |

| Title: | | Advancing Myanmar’s Transition: A Way Forward for U.S. Policy
|
| Date of publication: | | 16 February 2012 |
| Description/subject: | | Executive Summary: "In January 2012, an Asia Society delegation
visited Burma/Myanmar to engage in a Track
II dialogue with the Myanmar Development
Resources Institute (MDRI), a newly created,
independent think tank based in Yangon. The
MDRI participants in the dialogue include
advisors with a mandate to provide policy
advice in the areas of political, economic,
and legal affairs to President Thein Sein and
his government. The goal of this informal
dialogue is to establish an ongoing channel
of communication between experts from
both countries and to explore opportunities
to advance U.S.–Myanmar relations during a
particularly fluid and fragile period of transition
in Myanmar.
The Asia Society group includes specialists
in the areas of political affairs, rule of law,
democracy building, economic development,
and environmental sustainability. In addition to
the Track II meetings with presidential advisors,
our group held in-depth discussions with senior
officials in the following ministries: Foreign
Affairs, Culture, Commerce, Environmental
Conservation and Forestry, Health, Science
and Technology, Education, and Information.
Our group also met with business leaders;
members of civil society; representatives from
the National League for Democracy (NLD),
including Aung San Suu Kyi; and a wide array
of community activists, including minority
nationalities.
This effort builds on the work carried out
by Asia Society’s Task Force on U.S. Policy
toward Burma/Myanmar, as well as seminal
meetings convened by Asia Society in New York
in September 2011 that brought together for
the first time policy makers from Myanmar, the
United States, and the broader international
community to informally discuss prospects for
reform in Myanmar.
This report provides our assessment of
the nature of the changes that are under
way in Myanmar and the challenges and
vulnerabilities that the country faces. We
conclude by recommending measures that the
United States can undertake at this critical
moment to encourage, support, and advance the
institutionalization of sustainable democracy in
Myanmar." |

| Title: | | Legal Review of Recently Enacted Farmland Law and Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Lands Management Law - Improving the Legal & Policy Frameworks Relating to Land Management in Myanmar
|
| Date of publication: | | November 2012 |
| Description/subject: | | "The Farmland Law and the VFV Law were approved by Parliament on March 30th, 2012. There have
been a few improvements compared to previous laws such as recognition of
non-rotational taungya as
a legitimate land-use and recognition that farmers are using VFV lands without formal recognition by
the Government. However overall the Laws lack clarity and provide
weak protection of the rights of
smallholder farmers in upland areas and do not explicitly state the equal rights
of women to register
and inherit land or be granted land-use rights for VFV land. The Laws
remain designed primarily to
foster promotion of large-scale agricultural investment and fail to provide adequate safeguards for the
majority of farmers who are smallholders. In particular tenure security for farmland remains weak due
to the Government retaining power to rescind farm
land use rights leaving smallholders vulnerable to
dispossession of their land-use rights. In addition there remains some unnecessary de-facto
government control over the
crop choices of farmers.
In particular it is recommended
that recognition of land-use rights under customary law and the
creation of mechanisms for communal registration of land-use rights,
be included in the Farmland and
VFV Laws. There needs to be a comprehensive process of re-classifying land in the country to reflect
land-use changes resulting from conversion of forests and VFV land into agricultural land, loss of
agricultural land due to development projects, urban expansion and population growth. This will serve
to reduce land conflict in the countryside and provide genuine tenure security for smallholders.
Furthermore the specific and independent rights of
women must be explicitly stated in the Laws.
Added to this the fundamental principle of free,
prior and informed consent should be enshrined,
especially in regard to
removal of land-use rights
in the national interest.
It is also necessary that the Government works in partnership with civil society and farmers
associations to revise the Farmland and VFV Laws..." |

| Title: | | Anger and anxiety in multi-ethnic Myanmar
|
| Date of publication: | | 28 June 2013 |
| Description/subject: | | "...The proposed ideas of U Wirathu and his ‘969’ movement to boycott Muslim businesses and restricting
marriage of Buddhist women to men of Muslim faith are unconstitutional and ill-conceived.
It is a well-known fact that there is a widespread anxiety and anger in Buddhist communities. This
anxiety and anger drives the growing support for U Wirathu and his 969 movement. The threat
perception in regard to Islam and its impact on Myanmar’s society cannot be simply dismissed as
primordial hatred or psychologized as self-victimization as if it were a matter of a collective
psychological development disorder. To avoid a further escalation and overcome this crisis, it is
important to acknowledge the existence of anger and anxieties in Buddhist communities and to
understand the underlying economic, social, and cultural problems. Only when the root problems are
understood, can they be factored into sustainable, peaceful, and political solutions..." |

| Title: | | Incident Report: Forced recruitment in Thaton District #1, May 2012
|
| Date of publication: | | 29 May 2013 |
| Description/subject: | | The following incident report was written by a community member who has been trained by KHRG to monitor human rights abuses. The community member who wrote this report described that on May 29th 2012, villagers were ordered to be recruited for a one-year service by Moe Nyo, a fomer DKBA leader now serving as a company commander in the BGF Battalion #1014, in order to form a new people's militia group. The cost to avoid service was 50,000 kyat per month, which the villagers reported having difficulties with raising. Some villagers who refused to serve, but lacked the money to opt-out and responded to the order by fleeing their village. This report has been summarized along with three other Incident Reports received from this area in: "BGF Battalion #1014 forced labour and forced recruitment, April to May 2012," KHRG, May 2013. |

|
| Date of publication: | | 13 May 2013 |
| Description/subject: | | "This report is based on information submitted by community members in March 2013 describing events occurring in Papun District in February 2013. On February 11th 2013, a landmine exploded in K'Ter Tee village tract, Dwe Lo Township, Papun district. A total of five villagers were killed in the explosion, three of whom were under the age of 18. The villagers were hit by the landmine while transporting sand in a car for the Green Hill Company, a company affiliated with BGF Battalions #1013 and #1014. The group who planted the landmine is unknown. While no groups have taken responsibility for the incident, Green Hill Company paid 300,000 kyat (US $341) to the family of each victim, alongside the manager of the Company, Ko Myo, personally contributing 200,000 kyat (US $227) to each family. This and other landmine incidents received by KHRG between August 2012 and March 2013 were published in a Briefer; see "Landmines shatter peace for villagers in eastern Burma," April 2013. |

| Date of publication: | | 24 May 2013 |
| Description/subject: | | "This report includes a situation update submitted to KHRG in February 2013 by a community member describing events occurring in Papun District, during the period between November 2012 and January 2013. The community member discusses abuses that happened during the period, such as how private construction workers collected stones near P--- villagers' farmland without the consent of the local community. Consequently, there is an increased threat of flooding that could affect more than 20 or 30 acres of farmland from the damage to natural water barriers caused by the stone collection. Also discussed, is how frontline soldiers from Tatmadaw Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) #434, which is based at Pa Heh army camp, forced four villagers from H--- village to porter unknown cargo between Papun town and Hsaw Bgeh Der. The community member also raised problems regarding destruction of the natural environment, such as how irregular rainfall and pests are damaging paddy crops." |

| Title: | | Bitter pills - Breaking the silence surrounding drug problems in the Mon Community
|
| Date of publication: | | 19 June 2013 |
| Description/subject: | | "The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) released a report on drug problems in the Mon community, drawing on testimony from 140 individuals. The report aims to give a preliminary account of drug use and trading in Mon populations, exploring issues that range from the causes of rising youth drug use to the New Mon State Party’s (NMSP) recent anti-drugs campaign. HURFOM’s aim is to encourage a new focus on the issue, breaking a long-held silence to call for collaborative action from all relevant authorities...The report highlights that drugs are prevalent in Mon communities, and in particular are being abused by Mon youth. A man from Ye township is recorded as saying, “It is easy to buy drugs. We can buy them at the betel nut shop for around 3,000 to 5,000 kyat per tablet. It is easy to get drugs if you have friends in Koemine or Hnin Sone villages, or in Ye Township.”
The report also explains how corruption amongst various authorities has both enabled the rise of drugs in the Mon community and prevented effective action on the issue. According to one 32-year-old community volunteer from Kamarwat village, Mudon Township, “Most people want the drug problem to be dealt with. But who, or which organization, can make it stop when the military and authorities themselves are involved? Most of the people selling drugs are related to military forces, authorities and ceasefire groups.”..." |

| Title: | | Bridging the HLP Gap - The Need to Effectively Address Housing, Land and Property Rights During Peace Negotiations and in the Context of Refugee/IDP Return
|
| Date of publication: | | 02 June 2013 |
| Description/subject: | | Bridging the HLP Gap -
The Need to Effectively Address Housing, Land and Property Rights
During Peace Negotiations and in the Context of Refugee/IDP Return:
Preliminary Recommendations to the Government of Myanmar,
Ethnic Actors and the International Community.....Executive Summary:
"Of the many challenging issues that will require resolution within the peace processes currently underway
between the government of Myanmar and various ethnic groups in the country, few will be as complex, sensitive
and yet vital than the issues comprising housing, land and property (HLP) rights. Viewed in terms of the rights of
the sizable internally displaced person (IDP) and refugee populations who will be affected by the eventual peace
agreements, and within the broader political reform process, HLP rights will need to form a key part of all of the
ongoing moves to secure a sustainable peace, and be a key ingredient within all activities dedicated to ending
displacement in Myanmar today.
The Government Myanmar (including the military) and its various ethnic negotiating partners – just as with all
countries that have undergone deep political transition in recent decades, including those emerging from lengthy
conflicts – need to fully appreciate and comprehend the nature and scale of the HLP issues that have emerged
in past decades, how these have affected and continue to affect the rights and perspectives of justice of those
concerned, and the measures that will be required to remedy HLP concerns in a fair and equitable manner that
strengthens the foundations for permanent peace. Resolving forced displacement and the arbitrary acquisition
and occupation of land, addressing the HLP and other human rights of returning refugees and IDPs in areas of
return, ensuring livelihood and other economic opportunities and a range of other measures will be required if
return is be sustainable and imbued with a sense of justice.
There is an acute awareness among all of those involved in the ongoing peace processes of the centrality of
HLP issues within the context of sustainable peace, however, all too little progress has thus far been made to
address these issues in any detail, nor have practical plans commenced to resolve ongoing displacement of either
refugees or IDPs. Indeed, the negotiating positions of both sides on key HLP issues differ sharply and will need
to be bridged; many difficult decisions remain to be made..." |
