Description:
"(Bangkok, April 26th 2007) ? On Wednesday April 25th 2007, the United Nations Office of the
Humanitarian Coordinator in Myanmar released a statement in response to KHRG?s recently
released report Development by Decree: The politics of poverty and control in Karen State.
KHRG welcomes the UN?s response and appreciates the Office of the Humanitarian
Coordinator?s acknowledgement that it agrees with the report?s findings on the problems
confronting the delivery of humanitarian aid in Burma. KHRG is encouraged about the
possibility for greater openness and discussion regarding the methods used by aid agencies in
the implementation of their programmes.
However, a number of points in the UN?s media statement need clarification..."
