Burma-Forgotten Nation, Forgotten People

The IUSY Students Working Group 'Burma Campaign' calls upon all of us to lobby at every level of the political process at national, regional and international level to:
1. Take all necessary measures toward a speedy restoration of democracy in Burma
2. Demand the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi
3. Call upon the Burmese authorities to end the systematic forced displacement of persons and the flow of refugees and the flow of refugees to neighbouring countries and create adequate conditions for their safe and voluntary return and complete integration, and to allow humanitarian personnel safe access to assist their return and reintegration
4. To call upon the Burmese authorities to end the continuing violations of the human rights of women, in particular forced labour, forced relocations, abuse, torture, sexual violence, exploitation and abuse in detention and summary executions, often committed by military personnel.
