Association of South East Nations members to recognise that
only free and fair elections will lead to a stable and secure
Burma. We support the UN Secretary-General's continued
engagement. Tough EU sanctions will remain in place in the
absence of any progress. It is equally important that the entire
international community gives a united response to any
election outcome. If there were any suggestion that some
members of the international community attempted in any
way to legitimise that outcome, that would be very dangerous in
terms of strengthening the regime. What we seek to achieve is

Daw Khin Aye Aye Mar, the Patron at the Burma Democratic
Concern (BDC) said, “In addition, the suffering of people of
Burma will be never-ending since junta will always extinguish
democratic principles and ethnics’ rights with brutal force in

freedom of speech, press, beliefs, assembly and rule of law that
emphasizes the protection of individual rights.”
