Two hundred and sixty civil society groups in Southeast Asia have come up with a position paper on how to resolve the crisis in Myanmar.
Here is a summary of their recommendations:
- Move beyond the “five-point consensus” to achieve a Myanmar people-led and people-centred solution to the crisis in Myanmar. Asean’s “Myanmar-owned and -led” approach must be backed by genuine political will that aligns with and supports the collective aspirations of the people of Myanmar
- Cease all pressure on Myanmar’s revolutionary forces and civil society to join any processes to engage or compromise with the illegitimate military junta, and support a locally led political consultation process that entirely excludes the junta
- End all engagements, including economic and military engagements, with the military junta, and engage formally with the legitimate representatives of Myanmar
- Publicly denounce and end all support for, or plans to support, the military junta’s sham election
- Provide humanitarian aid for internally displaced people in collaboration with legitimate stakeholders and civil society groups through cross-border channels
- Join the ongoing international and Myanmar people’s efforts to hold the Myanmar military accountable under international law for its commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide
