BURMESE MILITARY BRASSHATS' REPRESE

BURMESE MILITARY BRASSHATS' REPRESENTATIVE DEFENDSTHE SPDC 
By Julien Moe
27th September 1999

Burma's foreign minister defended the country's human rights record before
the General Assembly as a rule and as taught by his bosses from Rangoon.
There is a Burmese saying that goes as " Cover from afront but discovered
from behind". Whatever cost the junta will be done by the brasshats to be
able to stand on the international stage. Rights records of the Burmese
regime are so obvious that the lies forwarded by Win Aung of SPDC seem like
deja vus to the rest of the world. 

The human rights abuses that the SPDC have violated include  crimes against
humanity (Article 5 of the Statute), namely, persecutions on political, racial
and religious grounds; inhumane acts; murder; torture,  grave breaches of
the Geneva Conventions (Article 3 of the Statute), namely, cruel treatment;
unlawful labour; murder; wanton destruction not justified by military
necessity; plunder of public or private property; seizure, destruction
or wilful damage done to institutions dedicated to religion, and 
violations of the laws or customs of war (Article 2 of the Statute), namely,
inhuman
treatment; wilful killing; torture; wilfully causing great suffering or
serious injury to body or health; unlawful transfer of a civilian;
extensive destruction of private property.

Will such a regime be able to cheat the United Nations General Assembly, a
worldbody? The answer is crystal clear. Time will probably expire but the
Burmese struggle for freedom from fear will never.
