    Burma Democratic Concern (BDC): “YES WE CAN” take decisive action 13 August 2010 Burma’s dictators declared that election will be held on 7 November 2010. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD boycott the junta’s planned election due to unfair election laws. Very military regime held the election in 1990 in which Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, National League for Democracy (NLD) won the landslide victory. Junta ignores to honour the 1990 election results. In the mean time suppressions on the Burmese people intensified. Burmese people are living in prison like state under the military regime. Addition, junta unilaterally adopted the constitution which legitimize military rule in Burma. According to the 14 years long unilaterally drafted constitution, military reserves the 25% of the seats at the parliaments which is totally undemocratic. The Burma junta’s party registration laws issued this year are bias, undemocratic and drafted in the way like “Do as I say, not as I Do”. Now, regime declares that fresh election will be held on 7 November 2010 based on 2008 unconstitutional constitution. Addition, 1990 election results are not yet honoured. In order to have true national reconciliation in Burma, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD issued the “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration i.e. • To release all political prisoners • To take place genuine dialogue • To revise 2008 Constitution • To Recognize 1990 election result Myo Thein, the Director of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) said that the “International community must take decisive action in this critical time. We would like to urge the international community not to recognize junta’s planned sham 2010 election and its pre-meditated results. It is not the election but the junta’s magic show to change snake skin well before the international community’s very own eyes. We would like to call for all the justice loving people around the world to stand fully behind the Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s call for boycotting junta’s sham 2010 election and its results”. We must do everything we can to restore democracy, human rights and rule of law in Burma the following three main principles i.e. 1. Implement 1990 election result in Burma This is the hope which we can defeat injustice system in Burma, this is the hope we can defeat military dictatorship in Burma, and this is the hope we can restore democracy and human rights in Burma under the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically elected legitimate leader of Burma. “If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the elections of 1990 must be recognized. It must be recognized by the military regime, as it has been recognized by the people, and by the world at large. It is through this recognition that we will be able to make genuine progress in Burma. The results of the 1990 General Elections must be implemented is a resolution already taken by the United Nations. We already know that the General Assembly of the United Nations has accepted the notion that the will of the people has been expressed in the 1990 General Elections. This is something we cannot abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it”, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi insists. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi reaffirmed again the importance of implementing 1990 election result and the necessary practical action taken by international community by saying "Since 1992, the United Nations General Assembly has been passing resolutions on the human rights situation in Burma. But resolutions are not enough. Resolutions should be implemented. We think it is time that the international community took a greater interest in getting the terms of the resolutions implemented". What is the purpose United Nations standing for if it cannot take effective action decisively rather than playing into junta’s hands? We don’t want to see UNSC being disabled due to the China or/and Russia

    Burma Democratic Concern (BDC):

    “YES WE CAN” take decisive action


    13 August 2010

    Burma’s dictators declared that election will be held on 7 November


    2010. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD boycott the junta’s planned
    election due to unfair election laws. Very military regime held the
    election in 1990 in which Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, National
    League for Democracy (NLD) won the landslide victory.

    Junta ignores to honour the 1990 election results. In the mean time
    suppressions on the Burmese people intensified. Burmese people are
    living in prison like state under the military regime.

    Addition, junta unilaterally adopted the constitution which legitimize


    military rule in Burma. According to the 14 years long unilaterally
    drafted constitution, military reserves the 25% of the seats at the
    parliaments which is totally undemocratic.

    The Burma junta’s party registration laws issued this year are bias,
    undemocratic and drafted in the way like “Do as I say, not as I Do”.

    Now, regime declares that fresh election will be held on 7 November


    2010 based on 2008 unconstitutional constitution. Addition, 1990
    election results are not yet honoured.

    In order to have true national reconciliation in Burma, Daw Aung San


    Suu Kyi led NLD issued the “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration i.e.

     To release all political prisoners


     To take place genuine dialogue
     To revise 2008 Constitution

    and rule of law that emphasizes the protection of individual rights. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is the

     To Recognize 1990 election result

    Myo Thein, the Director of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) said
    that the “International community must take decisive action in this
    critical time. We would like to urge the international community not to
    recognize junta’s planned sham 2010 election and its pre-meditated
    results. It is not the election but the junta’s magic show to change snake
    skin well before the international community’s very own eyes. We
    would like to call for all the justice loving people around the world to
    stand fully behind the Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s call for boycotting
    junta’s sham 2010 election and its results”.

    We must do everything we can to restore democracy, human rights and


    rule of law in Burma the following three main principles i.e.

    1. Implement 1990 election result in Burma

    This is the hope which we can defeat injustice system in Burma, this is
    the hope we can defeat military dictatorship in Burma, and this is
    the hope we can restore democracy and human rights in Burma under
    the leadership of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically elected
    legitimate leader of Burma.

    “If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the


    elections of 1990 must be recognized. It must be recognized by the
    military regime, as it has been recognized by the people, and by the
    world at large. It is through this recognition that we will be able to make
    genuine progress in Burma. The results of the 1990 General Elections
    must be implemented is a resolution already taken by the United
    Nations. We already know that the General Assembly of the United
    Nations has accepted the notion that the will of the people has been
    expressed in the 1990 General Elections. This is something we cannot
    abandon. It will be to the detriment of our country if after an election has

    been held the results are not honoured and we do not resist attempts to
    trivialise it”, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi insists.

    Daw Aung San Suu Kyi reaffirmed again the importance of


    implementing 1990 election result and the necessary practical action
    taken by international community by saying "Since 1992, the United
    Nations General Assembly has been passing resolutions on the human
    rights situation in Burma. But resolutions are not enough. Resolutions
    should be implemented. We think it is time that the international
    community took a greater interest in getting the terms of the resolutions
    implemented".

    What is the purpose United Nations standing for if it cannot take


    effective action decisively rather than playing into junta’s hands? We
    don’t want to see UNSC being disabled due to the China or/and Russia
    governments (possible) use of veto whenever Burma crisis is on the
    table. Now people are finding ways to by-pass China or/and Russia
    governments’ blockage at the UNSC.

    “We believe that if international governments endorse Daw Aung San


    Suu Kyi led people leaders as the legitimate government of Burma if
    should the one be formed, then it will be effectively by-passing the
    UNSC as well as by-passing the China or/and Russia governments'
    possible use of veto at the UNSC since they cannot influence individual
    countries from UNGA taking decisions independently”, Khin Maung
    Win, The Director of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).

    We would like to give clear message to the world leaders that all the
    oppressed people of Burma stand firmly on upholding the “Shwe-Gone-
    Daing” Declaration and unanimously follow the leadership of Daw Aung
    San Suu Kyi.

    2. Review junta’s sham 2008 constitution

    Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is the global campaigning and lobbying organisation to restore democracy,
    human rights and rule of law in Burma where everyone can enjoy the freedom of speech, press, beliefs, assembly
    and rule of law that emphasizes the protection of individual rights. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is the
    registered company in UK, and register number is 6496926.

    http://twitter.com/bdcburma, http://www.youtube.com/user/bdcburma
    This is the sham constitution drawn unilaterally by junta’s handpicked
    delegation -- which we must change. This is the sham constitution
    adopted unilaterally in rigged referendum – which we must change. This
    is the sham constitution designed to legitimise military rule in Burma --
    which we must change. The essence of the 2008 Constitution is to
    guarantee impunity indefinitely and the 2010election will implement it.

    “Therefore, we call for United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to


    declare the unilaterally adopted Burmese junta's 2008 sham
    constitution, which is designed to legitimize military rule permanently
    in Burma, as NULL and VOID”, said U Tint Swe Thiha, the Patron of
    the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).

    It is reasonable to request the nullification of the 2008 Constitution by


    the UN Security Council. Precedence for such a move can be found in
    UNSC Resolution 554 regarding South Africa’s 1983 apartheid-
    entrenching constitution @. UNSC Res 554 (15 November 1983) UN Doc A/RES/38/11

    @. UNSC Res 554 (15 November 1983) UN Doc A/RES/38/11

     UNSC declares that the so-called "new constitution" is contrary to


    the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, that the results
    of the referendum of 2 November1983 are of no validity
    whatsoever and that the enforcement of the "new constitution" will
    further aggravate the already explosive situation prevailing inside
    apartheid South Africa.

     Strongly rejects and declares as null and void the so-called "new
    constitution" and the "elections" to be organized in the current
    month of August for the “coloured” people and people of Asian
    origin as well as all insidious manoeuvres by the racist minority
    regime of South Africa further to entrench white minority
    apartheid rule.

    3. Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election

    Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election now because it is designed to


    nullify 1990 election result. Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010
    election now because election will be held in accord with 2008 sham
    constitution. Boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election now because
    junta is setting up everything to win its own proxy party.

    “International governments can help us realising justice reality in


    Burma. If international governments denounce junta’s sham 2010
    election and its results; then they are effectively supporting Aung San
    Suu Kyi’s call for boycotting junta’s planned sham 2010 election”, said
    Daw Khin Aye Aye Mar, the patron of the Burma Democratic Concern
    (BDC).

    We would like to invite all the justice loving people around the world to
    join with us working to restore democracy, human rights and rule of law
    in Burma where everyone can enjoy the freedom of speech, press, beliefs,
    assembly and rule of law that emphasizes the protection of individual
    rights.

    It is our duty to implement 1990 election results in which people voted


    for their leaders, it is our duty to review junta’s sham 2008 constitution,
    and it is our duty to boycott junta’s planned sham 2010 election which
    will legitimise military rule in Burma.

    Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) believe that “YES WE CAN” to


    implement 1990 election result in Burma, “YES WE CAN” to change
    junta’s sham 2008 constitution and “YES WE CAN” to boycott junta’s
    planned sham 2010 election.

    Together we can restore the democracy in Burma and build the better
    world. Let’s work together. We will win and we can bring justice realities
    in Burma. Yes we can since what we believe is what we achieve.
