Key Findings: "The year 2016 marked a historic and peaceful transition of government in Burma, also known as Myanmar. Yet while the political
handover occurred without incident, conditions during the year
continued to decline for Rohingya Muslims, as well as for other
religious and ethnic minorities. In addition, fresh and renewed
fighting in some ethnic areas highlighted the schism between
Burma?s civilian-controlled leadership and the military, which
controls three powerful ministries and significant portions of the
economy. Although the circumstances and root causes driving
the ill treatment of religious and ethnic groups differ, there are
two common elements: (1) the outright impunity for abuses and
crimes committed by the military and some non-state actors, and
(2) the depth of the humanitarian crisis faced by displaced persons and others targeted for their religious and/or ethnic identity.
Due to both governmental and societal discrimination, Rohingya
Muslims—tens of thousands of whom are currently displaced—
are stateless and vulnerable, and many Christians are restricted
from public worship and subjected to coerced conversion to
Buddhism. Given that the National League for Democracy (NLD)
government has allowed systematic, egregious, and ongoing violations of freedom of religion or belief to continue, USCIRF again
finds that Burma merits designation as a ?country of particular
concern,” or CPC, in 2017 under the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA). The State Department has designated Burma
as a CPC since 1999, most recently in October 2016. Non-state
actors such as Ma Ba Tha and other nationalist individuals and
groups do not meet the definition of an ?entity of particular concern” under the Frank Wolf International Religious Freedom Act
(P.L. 114-281), but merit continued international scrutiny for their
severe violations of religious freedom and related human rights..."
