LETTER TO THE KING OF THAILAND
******************************
Dr U Ne Oo
48/2 Ayliffes Road
St Marys SA 5042
Australia
September 7, 1997.
H.M. Bumibol Adulyadej
King of Thailand
The Grand Palace
Thanon Na Phara Lan
Bangkok 10200, Thailand.
Your Majesty:
I am a Burmese national currently residing in Australia. With
this letter, I am making appeal to Your Majesty on behalf of
Burma's ethnic refugees who are living in the camps.
Beginning in 1984, these refugees from Burma enter the
Kingdom of Thailand to escape persecution by Burmese
military. Over the years and recently in 1995 and 1997, many
more Burma's refugees in total of 100,000 have to enter the
Kingdom of Thailand in search for their safety.
These Burmese refugees are in need of help from the
United Nations, not only in assistance of food and shelter
for their survival but also to find longer-term solution for
themselves: i.e. the refugees to be able to go back to Burma
safely. The United Nations, thus far, is unable to help in
this way simply because of the Royal Thai Government does not
allow the United Nations to help our refugees. I, therefore,
humbly request Your Majesty King to command the Royal Thai
Government to hand-over the affairs of Burma's refugees to
the United Nations.
In closing, I thank Your Majesty King for your kind
considerations to this matter and especially your kindness
shown to our refugees staying in your Kingdom.
Yours respectfully,
Sd. U Ne Oo.
