Statement on the International Day of Peace
By Gender and Development Institute-Myanmar • September 21, 2015Peace is a prerequisite for sustainable development. Without justice, peace is impossible. For Myanmar towards a democratically developed country, we need peace to come first. Peace is not just ending a war but a state where justice flows as river. The Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) is a prerequisite for starting a political dialogue process that is to seek a greater and comprehensive solution for chronic federal conflicts in Myanmar politically. The NCA is to end the wars between Myanmar Tatmadaw and the Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAO), and to open opportunities to build a peaceful and better country for its all citizens. Thus, all conflicting parties especially Myanmar Tatmadaw are gravely required to show their strong commitment that the NCA to be signed wholeheartedly and inclusively. We strongly urge all conflicting parties to stop the current fighting in Kachin and Shan states immediately so that all civilians including women and children are to be living freely from fears.
