REQUEST TO THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
1. Support the adoption of sanctions against the regime. Increase economic and other sanctions against the military regime. Continue to target the leaders of the regime by implementing targeted sanctions. Note: These sanctions do not hurt the people of Burma because international assets rarely benefit anyone other than junta members. Rather, they cripple the financial assets of the regime and support to the activities of the pro-democracy movement. 2. Continue to press the United Nations Security Council to take action. The junta continues to openly defy the United Nations by arresting additional protesters and dissenters and refusing open conversation with pro-democracy leaders. The junta has demonstrated that it has no intention of instituting real change unless forced to do so by the international community. International human rights violations by the regime are ongoing and widespread Child soldiers widespread. soldiers, forced labor, and illicit drug trade have become hallmarks of this brutal regime, threatening both regional and international peace and security. The only appropriate response is a binding resolution from the UN. We request the international community to support our efforts to deny the junta Burmas seat at the y United Nations General Assembly. 3. Work through the United Nations to establish a permanent UN office in Rangoon. The United Nations cannot monitor the juntas compliance with its international obligations because the junta controls access to Burma. A UN office should be established under the auspices of the UN Secretary General with a mandate to: 1) coordinate and facilitate dialogue and reconciliation 2) monitor violations of international law.

NCUB Acclaims Passage of the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE Act
Press Release 30 July 2008
The National Council of the Union of Burma (NCUB) acclaims the United States Government for enacting the Tom Lantos Block Burmese Jade (Junta s Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act of 2008 (H R 3890) This groundbreaking Act (Juntas Anti Democratic (H.R. 3890). Act, passed unanimously by both chambers of the United States Congress, and signed today by President Bush, constitutes the strongest sanctions against the Burmese Military Junta to date by cutting off revenue sources that the Junta uses to terrorize and murder innocent citizens of Burma. This Act not only eliminates revenue for the Junta by closing loopholes in Burmas gems trade with the United States company with an investment in Burma subsidized by American taxpayers, to voluntarily divest from Burma. p y y p y , y The NCUB applauds Congress for its attention to this important issue. While it is regrettable that the Act does not require Chevron to divest from Burma, the NCUB deeply appreciates the United States Congress interest, as expressed in the statue, in the continued physical safety of the human rights victims whom Chevron/Unocal settled with in 2004. The NCUB expresses tremendous gratitude to the late Representative Tom Lantos (D-CA) for his leadership as the primary author of this Act. The NCUB will always remember Representative Lantos for his uncompromising, influential, and unwavering support of the Burmese peoples non-violent struggle for freedom, democracy, and human rights. Additionally, the NCUB would like to recognize and thank Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Representative Howard Berman (D-CA), and Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) for their leadership in championing this Act. Their resolve for and commitment to freedom for the people of Burma enabled the passage of this landmark Act. The NCUB supports the strongest possible sanctions against the Burmese Military Junta and their corporate enablers as a means of pressuring the Junta to negotiate with democracy leaders and transition to democracy. The NCUB believes that sanctions are an integral part of the international strategy aimed at assisting the nonviolent efforts to build a democratic state in Burma.

Statement Condemning the SPDCs Use of Force Against the Ethnic Ceasefire Organizations
NCUB Statement 14 August 2009
The National Council of the Union of Burma (NCUB) welcomes reports that the ceasefire ethnic organizations have resisted attempts by the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to force them to join the Burmese Border Guard. We are further encouraged that the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army(MNDAA) has thwarted attempts by SPDC Major-General Aung Than Htut, Commander of the Lashio-based North-eastern Region Command, to arrest and intimidate and M anmar National Democratic Alliance Arm (MNDAA) leader Command Myanmar Army(MNDAA) Peng Jiasheng (Burmese: Phon Kyar Shin). We also acknowledge the National Democratic Front NDF, the oldest major ethnic alliance supporting the political stand of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA). In recent weeks, the SPDC has pushed the ethnic ceasefire organizations, particularly those on the Chinese boarder, to join the Burmese Militarys Border Guard in order to gain more control over all possible resistance ahead of the 2010 elections. To date, all ceasefire organizations have rejected the SPDCs demands. Furthermore, the ethnic ceasefire organizations have come together to build a coalition to respond to the SPDCs SPDC s attempts to subordinate them into the Burmese military structure. On August 8, 2009, the SPDC attempted to raid the home of Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) leader Peng Jiasheng to search for narcotics, despite the fact that the SPDC has repeatedly affirmed that the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) does not engage in the trade of narcotics. The purpose of the raid was to coerce and intimidate the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and other ethnic ceasefire organizations into joining the Border Guard. The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) h ld off th SPDC military assault and negotiated an end t th offensive. Th A held ff the SPDCs ilit lt d ti t d d to the ff i Through thi h this resistance, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) has taken on a leadership role among the ceasefire ethnic organization in demanding political compromise from the SPDC. To date, the SPDC has refused to engage in any political compromise, even with their purported allies in the ethnic ceasefire organizations. The SPDCs approach is that only military action solves problems, and the SPDC implemented this approach in its raid on the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and Peng Jiasheng. Jiasheng The NCUB respects and supports the efforts of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) to reject the coercion and intimidation of the SPDC in the lead up to the 2010 elections. It is important that the rest of the ethnic and democratic movement stand together with the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and show the world that together we can push the SPDC to engage in a meaningful dialogue for democratic change and achieve a federal, democratic future for Burma. National Council of the Union of Burma (NCUB)
Statement Condemning the SPDCs Intrusion Against the Kokang Ceasefire Organization
NCUB Statement 27 August 2009
The National Council of the Union of Burma NCUB strongly condemns the intrusion of the SPDC troops into the Kokang Longai areas and their unlawful intrusion under the pretence of investigation into the Kokang National leaders home. Thi i t i l d h This intrusion must b stopped i t be t d immediately and as th U it d Wa State P t UWSP h di t l d the United W St t Party has announced, the Kokang people should be respected to resolve their internal issues by themselves. The National Council of the Union of Burma NCUB would like to point out the true nature of the SPDCs constitution where, an provision states of Kokang self-administered Area and even before that constitution is inforced, the ethnic rights is shattered. The use of force to intrude KoKang territory after Kokangs refusal to turn themselves into border guard force under the supervision of the SPDC military is not only an attack on the national issues of the Ko Kang but also an insult to the political standings of the ceasefire ethnic organizations who are in an alliance with the Kokang. The SPDC is also neglecting the request by the authorities of neighboring Yunan province who had requested them to stop acts that would l d to i h h ld lead instability on the b d area. I f bili h border In fact the SPDC i the culprit which i acting h is h l i hi h is i ruthlessly to disturb the stability on the border and causing havoc. The National Council of the Union of Burma respectfully urges the leaders of Kokang to recall the Monekoe crisis and settle their disagreements in a peaceful way. The SPDCs intrusion through use of military strength into Kokang territory and taking control of the area is proof that the SPDC will continue destroying all ethnic nationalities that are in the ceasefire one after the other and there is no other way b t to unite and collecti el a but nite collectively defence from the SPDC occupation. National Council of the Union of Burma (NCUB)
The Peoples Republic of China should note the concern by the United Nations Secretary General of the dissolution of the National League for Democracy by SPDC with the aim of excluding the political opposition and the ethnic nationalities, a fact that will never bring peace nor stability in Burma. The people of Burma have the right to choose whether to vote in the upcoming elections China is wrong to pressure our ethnic brothers and sisters living on the borders who have expressed their own desires elections. sisters, borders, not to participate in the SPDCs sham election. The NCUB reminds all the international investors that the contracts with the SPDC will not likely be honored when change comes to Burma. Pressuring the ethnic nationalities who have to defend themselves daily from atrocities (documented) against them is the same as siding with possible defendants of a United Nations Commission of Inquiry. The NCUB calls upon all citizens of Burma to initiate a campaign that highlights Chinas control over Burmese natural resources and land, sales of unneeded war weapons by China to the SPDC, and Chinese intrusion in and control over internal politics inside Burma. The NCUB calls upon the United Nations, the European Union and ASEAN Member States to stand firmly with the people of Burma against the unfair elections of the SPDC and not to respect the election results. The NCUB calls upon the Peoples Republic of China to: Withdraw its military support for the SPDC regime; End its pressuring of all the ethnic nationalities living on the China-Burma border area; Stop buying land and natural resources from Burma; Stop helping the SPDC get access to nuclear technology in respect to Chinas own call for peace and stability in Burma, and in the region. p p g g gy p p y , g
