The following U.S.Policy statement explains why Burma cannot fit into the
international community and is not eligible for assistance it needs
desperately.
The United States condemns in the strongest terms efforts by the State
Law and Order
Restoration Council (SLORC), recently renamed the State
Peace and Development
Council (SPDC), to prevent the citizens of
Burma from exercising
their basic political rights. The United States wants
an end to human
rights abuses and the installation of a democratically
elected government in
Rangoon, and supports the aspirations of the
National League for
Democracy (NLD) and the people of Burma, who
desire what so many
others around the world now take for granted: the
chance to freely
express their views and to be represented by leaders of
their choosing.
Burma cannot fully
rejoin the international community and gain the
assistance it needs
until fundamental changes are made. The United
States maintains its
position that a meaningful political dialogue between
the Burmese
authorities and the democratic opposition leaders and
representatives of
the ethnic groups is the only path to a solution of
Burma's crisis.
That was the U.S.Policy Statement on Burma
