Resolution Number 2:
In conformity with democratic principles the people in whom sovereign
power resides, freely and fairly elected their representatives from the
respective political parties. The removing, restraining, forcing
resignations, holding in custody and imprisoning in jail of these
people's representatives is vehemently condemned. We emphatically demand
that they be released immediately and unconditionally for the observance
of the rule of law.
Resolution Number 3:
In 1998, subsequent to the lawful request by the National League for
Democracy and the political parties from the other ethnic groups for the
convening of parliament the authorities who assumed state power
commenced arresting, holding in custody, and imprisoning
parliamentarians from all political parties. These operation amount to
destroying the outcome of the free and fair multi-party democratic
elections held in 1990. We vigorously disapprove and condemn these
actions which makes a shameful precedent for any country. A very big
misdeed.
Resolution Number 4:
In the matter of the convening of Parliament:
It was resolved that the imprisonment of parliamentarians and
others by the authorities and making it known that they would be
released if and when the Committee representing People's Parliament is
dissolved is tantamount to a crime wherein the imprisoned are being held
as hostages.
Resolution Number 5
The courage and sacrifices made by the men and women of all the
political parties who are now being held and persecuted in devious ways
are standing firm with persistence for democracy and human rights out of
their personal convictions is deeply appreciated by this committee. They
will be honoured and will have a place in the annals of our history.
Resolution Number 6
The unanimous decision taken at the third committee of the 53rd
General Assembly of the United Nations in relation to human rights
situation in Burma is a great source of encouragement to us. Paragraph
8 and 9 are of special importance.
Paragraph 8. Strongly urges the Government of Myanmar, taking
into account its assurances given at various times, to take all
necessary steps towards the restoration of democracy in accordance
with the will of the people as expressed in the democratic
elections held in 1990 and to ensure that political parties and
non-governmental organizations can function freely,
and in that context notes that the National League for Democracy
recently established a committee to temporarily represent the
Parliament;
Paragraph 9. Also strongly urges the Government of Myanmar to
take all appropriate measures to allow all citizens to
participate freely in the political process, in accordance with
the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to
accelerate the process of transition to democracy, in
particular through the transfer of power to democratically
elected representatives;
