Description:
"1. On every September 15 of a year, the global community widely observes the
International Day of Democracy with the purposes to uphold and protect the
democratic principles in many ways. Today marks the 25th years anniversary of
Universal Declaration on Democracy by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
However, misusing of weapons and power including global pandemic have
significantly impacted a great risk to democracy norms and practices such as
freedom, freedom of expression, assembly, right to access information, justice, rule
of law and human rights.....
2. Although Myanmar's people have sacrificed to uphold democratic system in the
country, the military regimes in decades prohibited the citizens from embracing
democratic norms. In 2015, the very first elected civilian government led by
Myanmar Democracy Leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was emerged by inclusive
efforts of our people through election. However, developed democracy gains have
been destroyed due to military putsch by the brutal military of Min Aung Hlaing, a
leader of terrorist group.....
3. We, the elected representatives and the people, are continuing our fighting against
the military to return democracy back in the country even facing various tortures
such as unlawful detentions, cruel murders without any reasons, and forcing to
fl ee from our own places. Until now the military terrorist has killed over (2279) and
the number of detained people is now over (12430) while thousands of people in
Myanmar are displaced because of burning homes and villages, and launching
massive air-strikes on the Citizen' areas.
4. The international community should support practically and effectively the
governments, organizations and individuals who are making efforts to flourish
democracy and to work for human rights in the world. At the same time, the
undemocratic regimes should be punished with strongest actions. It is the time to
show your solidarity by the effective actions but not the words and with the people.
of Myanmar, the democratic institutions and democracy activists who are badly
suffering serious and heinous human rights violations by the military junta.....
5. On other side, the military junta which is not a legal government is creating an old
story of lying for global community as promising to hold a fair, free and transparent
election. There will be no rights to freely vote and elect, and with no independent
media accesses. According to the facts in history, it should notice that the military
regimes systematically destroyed democratic system and killed the people who
passionate democracy. Therefore, the arrangement of fake election of regime must
not be recognized.....
6. The Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw is the legitimate representative
body which was organized by the democratically elected parliamentarians by its
people. It is the legislative body of the union exercising people’s mandate and is
performing the legislating, overseeing the government’s administration and
supporting the people in need.....
7. Here, in order to take preventive measures on Myanmar’s democracy under
dangerous condition, we strongly and deeply urge international governments,
parliaments, organizations and individuals including the United Nations Security
Council to carefully listen the voices of the citizens of Myanmar and then, to
officially recognize and engage with us, the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu
Hluttaw and the National Unity Government we formed by the effective supports
in time in order to restore democracy, stability and development in Myanmar..."
