RESOLUTION OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
******************************************

QUEBEC, CANADA

THAT the National Assemble ....

CONDEMN the continual violations of human rights in Burma, committed
particularly against the country's numerous ethnic minorities by the
military junta in power, violations which include mass arrests,
arbitrary
and extrajudicial executions, torture, forced labour, forced
deportations and populations, and the denial of fundamental freedoms of
expression and association;

URGE the Burmese military regime to free all political prisoners
immediately and unconditionally, to revoke all repressive Acts, to cease
all violations of human rights, especially those of which the members of
National League for Democracy are victims, and to immediately begin
constructive political discussions with the Committee Representing the
People's Parliament before any further acts of violence occur in Burma;

URGE the Government of Canada to acknowledge that the Committee
Representing the People's Parliament, which stems from the Parliament
democratically elected by the people on 27 May, 1990, legitimately
represents the Burmese people, that it take any necessary measure to
ensure the implementation of coordinated international action for the
respect of human rights in Burma, and that it call upon the Secretary
General of the United Nations to continue discussions with the heads of
the Burmese military junta and the country's other major political
figures in order to move towards the democratization of Burma.

Quebec, this ninth day of December 1999.

PIERRE DUCHESNE
Secretary General of the National Assembly
