Letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

By United Nationalities Alliance  •  March 16, 2010

To H.E. Mr. Banki‐moon
The Secretary‐General
United Nations Organization
New York, U.S.A

From: United Nationalities Alliance (UNA),
Yangon, Myanmar /Burma.

Your Excellency,

We, United Nationalities Alliance (UNA), have the honour to submit this letter of suggestions to help you put appropriate pressure on the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) which has one‐sidedly promulgated the election laws which are not accordance with the UN’s suggestions. The laws are also against the opinions of international community and the actual desires of the people of Myanmar.

Your Excellency have urged the junta that the planned 2010 election should be all inclusive and free and fair. But the junta has promulgated the unjust laws stating that the political parties must respect and saveguard the sham constitution which had been written and approved unfairly by the junta and all political prisoners must be exclusive and expelled. All these election laws are based on the unjust and legally unapproved constitution 2008. According to these election laws, we hope that the coming elections can not be free and fair.

So, we, United Nationalities Alliance (UNA) respectfully request Your Excellency to put the appropriate pressure on the junta‐

(a) to free all political prisoners,
(b) to make dialogue among the SPDC, democratic forces led by Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi and representatives of ethnic minorities,
(c) to halt military operations in the ethnic minorities areas and
(d) to make the elections all inclusive and free and fair.

With best regards,

United Nationalities Alliance

Security Council
