Suu Kyi Calls for More Reforms in Burma
Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi says the current series of reforms under way in Burma represents the biggest opening in the country since the 1980s, but added that she needs to see more changes before she can support the easing of Western economic sanctions against the military-backed government. Naypyidaw in recent months has eased media restrictions, reformed its state-dominated economy and pursued talks with the opposition. Suu Kyi's comments, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal at her party's ramshackle headquarters in Rangoon, come as policymakers around the globe look to her for guidance on how to interpret the latest changes in Burma.

RI to assess development in Myanmar
Along with the government, the House of Representatives will assess the latest developments in Myanmar before deciding on whether to accept Myanmar’s bid for the chairmanship of ASEAN at the Bali Summit next month.
Deputy Chairman of the House’s Commission I on foreign affairs, TB Hasanuddin, said that his commission had set a meeting with the Foreign Minister, Marty Natalegawa, in order to assess the situation in Myanmar, including the progress that the country had made in terms of democratization.
He said that the commission and the Foreign Ministry had both received the required input to conduct an assessment, and that Indonesia was expected to take the wise diplomatic step of encouraging the Myanmarese government to make further progress at home.
“We will assess whether it is the right time to rely on Myanmar to chair ASEAN, or we will leave Myanmar in isolation. But leaving Myanmar in isolation could be counterproductive for ASEAN and its regional interests,” he said.
Hasanuddin, also a legislator of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, said that the commission had already received inputs and recommendations from the ASEAN Interparliamentary Myanmar Caucus (AIPMC) and the Burma Partnership, which represents Myanmarese civil society.
“What Indonesia will bring to the summit will bring benefit to both Myanmar and ASEAN,” he added.
The ASEAN Summit, scheduled for Nov. 17 and preceeded by a series of ASEAN ministerial meetings, has on its main agenda the discussion of economic, defense and political issues across the Southeast Asian region, including the approval of Myanmar’s ASEAN chairmanship in 2014.
The AIPMC and the Burma Partnership called on Indonesia to suspend the approval of Myanmar’s ASEAN chairmanship bid during the summit until the Myanmarese government makes significant progress towards democratization.
Burma Partnership coordinator, Khin Ohmar, said that despite the recent general election, which formed President Thien Sein’s government and saw the release of 220 political prisoners, democracy in Myanmar had yet to be upheld.
She said that the way the recent general election was conducted did not reflect a democratic process, with power vested not in the president but in the eleven-member National Defense and Security Council that was closely controlled by former military junta leaders.
The Myanmarese government should also release the remaining 1,800 political prisoners (not 18,000 as it was reported on Wednesday), and stop the atrocities against minority ethnic groups, including the Katchin and the Karen, to show a strong commitment to democracy and human rights, she said.
Effendy Choirie, a commission member, said that Indonesia should maintain its neutrality in dealing with the Myanmar issue, but that it could enhance lobbying with other ASEAN member countries to encourage the Myanmar president to develop a democratic government.

'Zero tolerance' on aid corruption
The Government has zero tolerance of corruption and has put much stronger systems in place to ensure aid money is not lost to fraud, the International Development Secretary has said.
Andrew Mitchell spoke out after an influential committee of MPs warned that the amount of British aid lost to fraud and corruption could rise because of changes to how the money is targeted.
The Department for International Development (DfID), whose budget is rising despite massive cuts across Whitehall, is refocusing overseas aid on countries seen as fragile and in conflict, such as Somalia, Burma and Pakistan.
But the cross-party Public Accounts Committee (PAC) cautioned that "operating in high-risk environments means the potential for increased risk of leakage through fraud and corruption".
It said in a report: "The department intends to focus more on fragile and conflict-affected states which pose higher risks in terms of poor security, delivery capacity, measurement of costs and outcomes, and leakage of funds through fraud and corruption."
Mr Mitchell told the BBC that it would not be right to say that the Government had taken its eye off the ball. He said: "They are looking at the legacy from the last government. We have much stronger systems to ensure that this money is well spent."
He added: "Wherever we find money being stolen, if ever we find money being stolen, we are absolutely ruthless on the taxpayers' behalf, in stopping it and not allowing it to happen. This Government has a zero tolerance of corruption."
The PAC warned that increasing spending via multilateral organisations - such as the European Commission and the World Bank - may also mean more British money is lost to fraud and corruption.
"The department plans to increase the proportion of its funding spent via multilaterals but does not have the same visibility over the cost and performance of multilaterals' programmes as it does over its bilateral programmes," the PAC said.
"Furthermore, the strategy to increase DfID spend through multilateral programmes appears to have more to do with it being easier for DfID to do this than for it to assess the viability, effectiveness and value for money of bilateral programme proposals."

Aid cash lost to fraud 'could rise'
(UKPA) – 8 hours ago
The amount of British aid lost to fraud and corruption could rise because of changes to how the money is targeted, an influential committee of MPs has warned.
The Department for International Development (DfID), whose budget is rising despite massive cuts across Whitehall, is refocusing overseas aid on countries seen as fragile and in conflict, such as Somalia, Burma and Pakistan.
But the cross-party Public Accounts Committee (PAC) cautioned that "operating in high-risk environments means the potential for increased risk of leakage through fraud and corruption".
"The department intends to focus more on fragile and conflict-affected states which pose higher risks in terms of poor security, delivery capacity, measurement of costs and outcomes, and leakage of funds through fraud and corruption," it said in a report.
The PAC also warned that increasing spending via multilateral organisations - such as the European Commission and the World Bank - may also mean more British money is lost to fraud and corruption.
"The department plans to increase the proportion of its funding spent via multilaterals but does not have the same visibility over the cost and performance of multilaterals' programmes as it does over its bilateral programmes," the PAC said.
"Furthermore, the strategy to increase DfID spend through multilateral programmes appears to have more to do with it being easier for DfID to do this than for it to assess the viability, effectiveness and value for money of bilateral programme proposals."
The PAC also criticised DfID's "poor understanding" of the scale and likelihood of aid being lost to fraud.
International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell said the coalition had transformed DfID's financial management and took a "zero-tolerance" approach to fraud.
"Although accurately reflecting the position under Labour, the report appears to take little account of the huge changes the coalition has made since taking office," he said.

IHL Dialogues: Resource Wars: Law, Land and Conflict
Date: Tuesday 18 October 2011
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: St Clement's Building, STC.S421
Speakers: Bruce Broomhall, Balakrishnan Rajagopal
Chair: Dr Chaloka Beyani
The IHL Project at the Law Department is hosting a series of dialogues on contemporary problems for the law of armed conflict.
Bruce Broomhall is a Professor of Law at the University of Quebec at Montreal (UQAM). He is currently pursuing research on resource conflicts under international law, building on collaborations he has undertaken over recent years with legal and policy experts from a range of fields in attempting to craft effective responses to the problem of illicit, conflict-fuelling natural resource economies. This focus forms part of a larger research interest in issues related to the establishment of an effective and legitimate system of international justice, including universal jurisdiction, the International Criminal Court, the role of the emerging system of justice within the existing framework for managing international peace and security, the impact of illegal economies of war on human security, the legal responsibilities of business actors in conflict settings, and the role of children in the transitional justice process. He teaches mainly in international and transnational criminal law. He has published on the role of criminal punishment in the enforcement of international norms, notably in his book International Justice and the International Criminal Court: Between Sovereignty and the Rule of Law (Oxford University Press, 2003).
Balakrishnan Rajagopal, B.L. (Madras), LL.M. (American), S.J.D. (Harvard) is Associate Professor of Law and Development and Director of the Program on Human Rights and Justice at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He formerly served with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Cambodia and consulted with the UNDP, the World Commission on Dams and civil society organizations.

UN envoy urges Burma to free all political prisoners
UNITED NATIONS : United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Burma, Tomás Ojea Quintana, on Thursday urged the government to free all remaining political prisoners.
Quintana welcomed the decision by Burma's leader to grant amnesty and release a significant number of detainees. He said the recent release is an "important further step" by the country's authorities to respond to international concern and advance political reconciliation.
The exact number of released political prisoners has yet to be confirmed, but it is believed to be more than 200, including a number of prominent figures. Human rights groups estimate that there are some 2,000 political prisoners still behind bars.
"These are individuals who have been imprisoned for exercising their fundamental human rights or whose fair trial or due process rights have been denied," Quintana said. "Their release would be an important step for the democratic transition, and would be welcomed by people both inside and outside the country. It is imperative that the Government completes the liberation of all such prisoners."
Quintana also urged Burma's government to improve the conditions of detention and the treatment of prisoners in compliance with international standards.
The release this week came a day after state-run television announced an amnesty granted by President Thein Sein for 6,359 prisoners, although it did not say how many are political prisoners.
The move comes at a time when Burma, ruled by military regimes since 1962, is trying to move cautiously toward democracy. Western governments have been pressuring the government to release political prisoners and embark on democratic reforms, but progress has been slow.
Some 20,000 prisoners were released on May 16 after President Thein Sein announced a one-year presidential commutation, but only a few were political prisoners.
According to the Thailand-based Assistance Association for Political Prisoners-Burma, there are at least 1,998 political prisoners in 42 prisons and 109 labor camps across Burma, which is formally known as Myanmar. Late last year, authorities released pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi after years under house arrest.

Burma: Seven Trade Unionists Released From Prison

Press Release: International Trade Union Confederation
Burma: Seven Trade Unionists Released From Prison
Brussels, 13 October 2011 - The International Trade Union Confederation welcomes the recent release from prison of 7 trade unionists (*). However, much more remains to be done. Burma’s regime recently announced an amnesty for 6,359 prisoners; yet only 200 of them were political prisoners serving lengthy sentences in prisons across the country. Many trade union and labour activists remain behind bars serving decades long sentences. The ITUC calls upon the Burmese authorities to release all political prisoners immediately, including trade union activists.
While taking note of some small steps forward, the ITUC urges the international community not to let up the pressure, just as that pressure is finally bearing some fruit. Today in Burma, the army continues to exact forced labour, recruit child soldiers and confiscate land from the population in several states in Burma, and in some it appears to have worsened in 2011.
Full respect of Convention 87, protecting the trade union’s freedom of association and right to collective bargaining, is still an issue in Burma.
The ITUC supports the statement of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar: “many serious human rights issues remain and they need to be addressed”. Indeed, much more needs to be done to address fundamental violations of rights and act against impunity in the legal system, in law and in practice.
(*) The trade unionists released from prison today are:
Myo Aung Thant, Ms. Aye Thi Khaing, Ms. Aye Chan, Ms Yin Kyi, Ms. Than Than Htay, Thein Lwin Oo, Than Win and Ye Lwin Htoo.
The ITUC represents 175 million workers in 151 countries and territories and has 305 national affiliates. Website: http://www.ituc-csi.org and http://ping.fm/Ljrb5

Burma 'to grant prisoner amnesty'

Burma sets up human rights panel
Burma's exiled satirists go home
Burma's president is to grant amnesty to more than 6,300 prisoners, state-controlled media has announced.
The announcement, on state television, did not specify how many of those freed would be political detainees.
But the news came hours after Burma's new human rights body called for the release of "prisoners of conscience" who did not threaten state stability.
On Monday the US said if Burma showed concrete progress on issues like political prisoners, it would respond.
Western nations currently impose sanctions on Burma, and one of the key reasons is political prisoners.
Thought to number more than 2,000, they include journalists, pro-democracy activists, government critics, monks involved in anti-government protests in 2007 and members of Burma's ethnic groups fighting for greater autonomy.
'Nation-building'
The amnesty announcement came in a lunchtime broadcast. A total of 6,359 prisoners are to be freed and releases will begin on Wednesday.
Continue reading the main story
Who are Burma's political prisoners?
The report did not say whether the amnesty included political prisoners - Burma has in the past carried out large-scale amnesties without freeing political prisoners.
It announced an amnesty of 15,000 prisoners in May 2011 and freed more than 7,000 in 2009 - but those moves were criticised by rights groups for failing to include political prisoners.
In recent days, however, there have been reports from Burma, citing unidentified government officials, suggesting an amnesty of some political prisoners could be imminent.
The announcement came on the same day that Burma's new human rights commission called on the president to release "prisoners of conscience".
In an letter published in state media, the commission said those who did not "pose a threat to the stability of state" should be freed to help with nation-building.
The commission of scholars and former bureaucrats was only set up last month, as part of a series of moves by the government to improve Burma's international reputation.
Burma held its first elections in two decades almost a year ago - polls which saw military rule replaced with a military-backed civilian-led government.
Since then the government has freed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and held dialogue with her.
On Monday a top US diplomat, Kurt Campbell, said the US had noted "dramatic developments under way" in Burma.
He said Washington wanted to see concrete progress on issues like political prisoners - and if it did, the US would respond.
"We will match their steps with comparable steps," he said.
But Nyan Win, a spokesman for Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, told the BBC that a prisoner release was not all that was needed.
"The release of political prisoners is just one of the barometers of the government's seriousness about a change to democracy," he said.

Who are Burma's political prisoners?
The report did not say whether the amnesty included political prisoners - Burma has in the past carried out large-scale amnesties without freeing political prisoners.
It announced an amnesty of 15,000 prisoners in May 2011 and freed more than 7,000 in 2009 - but those moves were criticised by rights groups for failing to include political prisoners.
In recent days, however, there have been reports from Burma, citing unidentified government officials, suggesting an amnesty of some political prisoners could be imminent.
A spokesman for pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi welcomed the announcement. "This is very good news and we hope that political prisoners will be among those freed," Nyan Win said.
The announcement came on the same day that Burma's new human rights commission called on the president to release "prisoners of conscience".
In an letter published in state media, the commission said those who did not "pose a threat to the stability of state" should be freed to help with nation-building.
The commission of scholars and former bureaucrats was only set up last month, as part of a series of moves by the government to improve Burma's international reputation.
Burma held its first elections in two decades almost a year ago - polls which saw military rule replaced with a military-backed civilian-led government.
Since then the government has freed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and held dialogue with her.
On Monday a top US diplomat, Kurt Campbell, said the US had noted "dramatic developments under way" in Burma.
He said Washington wanted to see concrete progress on issues like political prisoners - and if it did, the US would respond.
"We will match their steps with comparable steps," he said.

Burma's president is to grant amnesty to more than 6,300 prisoners, state-controlled media has announced.
The announcement, on state television, did not specify how many of those freed would be political detainees.
But the news came hours after Burma's new human rights body called for the release of "prisoners of conscience" who did not threaten state stability.
On Monday the US said if Burma showed concrete progress on issues like political prisoners, it would respond.
Western nations currently impose sanctions on Burma, and one of the key reasons is political prisoners.
Thought to number more than 2,000, they include journalists, pro-democracy activists, government critics, monks involved in anti-government protests in 2007 and members of Burma's ethnic groups fighting for greater autonomy.
