Statement on Shwegonedaing meeting's resolutions and declaration: No. 1/2009
We, the 88 Generation Students, the All Burma Monks' Alliance (ABMA) and
the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) have read the
Shwegonedaing Declaration and resolutions, made and agreed by 28th-29th
April 2009 special meeting of the members of the National League for
Democracy (NLD) including NLD Central Executive Committee, representatives
of the State and Division Organizational Committees, the members of the
Parliament Elect still standing with the NLD, representatives of the
Central Women Affairs Committee and the Youth Affairs Implementation
Committee, held at Head Quarter of the NLD on west Shwegonedaing street,
Rangoon. And we earnestly request the peoples of Burma and international
communities to fully support this Declaration and the resolutions of the
meeting which reinforce the party's firm stand on calls for the
unconditional release of all political prisoners including U Tin Oo and
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi; the convening of parliament, the review of the draft
constitution (2008); and political dialogue to overcome the country's
political impasse.
Moreover, we pledge our commitment to supporting the following five
specific resolutions unanimously agreed upon and adopted by the 28th-29th
NLD meeting in order to overcome the current political cries.
(1) Agreed the political report, organizational report and report on
review of draft constitution, presented by Central Executive Committee of
the NLD
(2) Agreed to implement proposed political program based on the League's 4
political stands
(3) Agreed to continue to strive for achieving unconditional political
dialogue with the participation of the decision makers for the interest of
the country (4) Agreed to further organizing activities to achieve the
support of the peoples in order to accomplish the League's objectives (5)
Agreed the League's stand regarding to participation in the forth-coming
election as noted in the political report of Central Executive Committee
We also further express our firm support of the following NLD position on
the forth-coming (2010) election.
''If the following conditions are met: (a) All political prisoners
including the leaders of the NLD are
unconditionally released, (b) The provisions of the (2008) constitution
which are not in accord with democratic principles are amended, (c) All
inclusive free and fair elections are held under international
supervision, the National League for Democracy (NLD) intends to
participate in the elections after gravely considering as a special case
and after studying the coming Party Registration Act and the laws relating
to the Elections..
'We believe that the above- mentioned resolutions and recommendations of
the NLD are pragmatic and logical inorder to solve the country’s political
problems and we therefore suggest strongly that every concerned party and
individual shall cooperate with the NLD to meet the League's
recommendations.
We also denounce the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC)’s
continuing resistance to cooperating with the NLD. If the SPDC does not
cooperate with the NLD and continues to stubbornly maintain its exclusive
grip on power, all consequences will solely rest with it. Finally, we,
ABFSU, ABMA and 88 Generation Students reiterate our urgent and sincere
request for the whole people and international communities to support the
declaration and resolutions of the NLD's Shwegonedaing Meeting.
