A Call for Actions Against

Against Burmas Military Dictators

Attempting to Own Nuclear Weapons

Date : 06 / 14 / 2010

Burma has been placed under a brutal and corrupt dictatorship since the 1962 military
coup d'tat. The military regime has repeatedly crushed the popular movements for basic
nation--wide democratic uprising.

Therefore, Burma today has become one of the most impoverished nations with the worst
human rights record. The regime is also responsible for a
allowing
llowing Burma to become a place
for growing opium and the worlds largest heroin producer next to Afghanistan. The
countrys deteriorating situation due to its prolonged civil war that stems from the
regimes oppression against ethnic minorities rights and
and its annihilation of democratic and
human rights in Burma has been an ongoing threat to the regional stability.

The illegal regime in Burma is also systematically expanding its military power and
national
infrastructure in the region by using 60 percent of national income. In the process and
for decades, the regime has intensified its domestic military operations for building roads,
bridges and encampments for military use through the means of forced labor, forced
relocation for land confiscation, conscription of under-
under-age children, ethnic cleansing, and
violation of female population. This wasteful militarization against its own population by
the regime paired with the out-
out-of-
of-control inflation has wrecked the countrys economy and
consequently forced the people to flee into neighboring countries in search of basic
human needs: food and decent habitats. The human tragedies generated by such a
large-
large-scale displacement of mass population from Burma include the increasing volume of
drug and human-
human-trafficking and the ever-
ever-growing number of refugees in all neighboring
countries, and thus, they become social and economic crisis not only to the region but the
whole world.

A meaningful political dialogue, the only solution to the solving ongoing overall crisis in
Burma, was

democratically-elected National League for
Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi, ethnic groups and other opposition parties.
Domestic appeals and international mediation for such a political dialogue have been

without any proper judicial processes. The regime even shocked the whole world with its
show of ruthlessness and intolerance against peaceful civilian movements when it
mercilessly cracked down the monks peaceful movement in 2007 in which they
nonviolently expressed their concerns over the worsening human plight in the
country.Moreover,

breaks down, the renewed fights in these volatile areas could refuel the ongoing civil war
with other anti-
anti-military forces at any moment and generate more undesirable political
political and
economic consequences to the neighboring countries and the whole region.

Despite collectively facing such tragic human rights, economic and political crisis, we are
now greatly concerned and troubled by the recent news about the ongoing clandestine
efforts by military dictators for possessing its own nuclear arsenals. Possession of nuclear
weapon by such a military regime like SPDC (State Peace and Development Council) will
pose a severe threat to our region, which includes neighboring China, India and
and the whole
Southeast Asia, as well as the world peace. The military regime is now in violation of the
1995 Nuclear Non-
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NNPT) to which it is a signatory.

Nations
Therefore, we, the democratic forces of Burma, would like to urge the United Nations
Security Council to take urgent and effective measures against the Burmese military
regime to prevent it from becoming a nuclear-
nuclear-armed dictatorship and to protect the
people of Burma and the whole region from nuclear-
nuclear-related unfortunate consequences.
