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)
