PEACE MEDIATIONS FOR BURMA



/* Written Apr 13 6:00am 1995 by uneoo@physics. in igc:reg.burma */
/* ------------" U.N. Secretary-General visiting Aus "---------- */

The  United  Nations  Secretary-General,  Dr Boutros Boutros-Ghali,
will be visiting a UN Conference at Melbourne, Australia, on  April
27-29. It is a good opportunity for Burmese pro-democracy groups in
Australia  to  draw  Secretary-General's  attention  to  continuing
political disputes and human rights problems in Burma.  It  also  a
good  time  to  approach Australian politicians, especially Senator
Gareth  Evans,  to  help  co-ordinate  the U.N.'s efforts and major
democracies' in mediating the disputes in  Burma.  I  have  already
written   an  appeal  letter  to  the  Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai
for  Thai  mediations  to  be  made  in   concert  with  its  ASEAN
dialogue  partners  and especially Australia,  between  the  ethnic
minorities and Burmese army.

It is not unusual,  of course, to hear again  the complaints of the
encroachment  of Burma's sovereignty or "neo-colonalists  countries
are trying to put  ointment on  un-swollen  part". Still, there are
good intentions of international community -  which  everyone  must
recognize and respect - to see the ending  of the Burmese conflicts
and this human rights/humanitarian crises. If not, there are always
legitimate  reasons, if SLORC need some,  to be  involved  in  such
process. -- U Ne Oo.

Dear Sir,

Re:  Peace  mediation  for  Burmese  army and  ethnic minorities
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I   am a Burmese national presently residing in Australia.
I firstly wish to support your efforts in urging the present 
government  of Myanmar  (Burma) to move towards  a democratic 
reform. I appeal you and the  Government of Germany   to  
provide   support   in  restoring democracy and promoting 
peace  and reconciliations in Burma. In particular, I wish 
your government and the  European Union to support with the 
possible assistance to Thailand and ASEAN in  mediating  the  
rebels  and Burmese army. In this connection, I enclosed my 
appeal letter  to  the  Senator  Stephen  Loosley,  The
Chairman of Human Rights Sub-Committee of the Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade, Australia, for your informations.

I also appeal you to raise these matters to the  Minister  Klause
Kinkel, the President of the  European  Union (EU),to please organize  a
representative committee  of the EU,  consisting  of  both politicians
and people from non-governmental organizations to oversee the 
peace mediations in Burma.

Finally,  I  should  like  to express my sincere thanks to you  for
your kind efforts made in helping the people of Burma. My thanks are  
also to the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany in  
continuing supports  to  the Burma's democracy movements.

Yours faithfully,

    
(U Ne Oo)
