Moreover, the junta’s next intimidating stance took place on 19 June, on the 63rd Birthday of Burma’s Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Fourteen citizens including a Buddhist monk were brutally arrested, after a pro-junta group of thugs broke up a protest calling for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi in front of the head office of the National League for Democracy (NLD.
The true intention of the junta is that under the cover of Cyclone Nargis, it has propped up its political hallucination and annihilating democracy supporters.

It’s a great conspiracy to eradicate ‘the value of democracy and human rights’.
Without human rights principles, international relief agencies and INGOs cannot afford to help the victims in the disastrous areas. No relief and rehabilitation proposal should be carried out to the detriment of human rights. In addition, political volatility causes every encumbrance in respective sectors not only in cyclone-hit areas but throughout the country.
For long-term recovery of the impoverished country, there must be a transparent and accountable form of governance responsive to the needs of the populace. Democratic reform is the only way out over the challenges lying ahead.
In brief, there should be international diplomatic efforts to solve the long-lasting question of Burma. United Nations, European Union, China, India and ASEAN should distinguish their obligation to push for genuine democratic reform in Burma in regard of downtrodden population. Besides, the UN and the ASEAN have failed helping people of Burma in time, instead appeasing the generals who never follow democratic principles.

The member states of the UN ought to distinguish that they have pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
