Burma:
The Military and Its Constitution (May 1999)
This
is special publication of BLC focusing on the monopoly
of military in constitution drafting process. Although
the international community generally knows that the
constitution drafting process in Burma is undemocratic,
it still requires to be explored in more detail how
the military systematically excludes participation of
the people, which is the key for emergence of any popular
constitution. The main purpose of this publication is
to let the international community examine whether to
support SPDC constitution drafting process and its outcome.

Burma's
State Protection Law ((ISBN 974-8430-47-2)
.......The
Burmese junta takes full advantage of the global war
against terrorism. The generals hope that it may justify
the existence of their Draconian legislation, such as
the 1975 State Protection Law which enables wide-ranging
restrictions on individuals. However, acts like this
only ensure the perpetuation of military rule, and this
publication proves that there cannot be a single justification
for the existence of the State Protection Law, not even
the global war against terrorism
