BURMA KNOCKS BACK AUSTRALIAN ELECTION MONITORS

On By Burma Myanmar newsIn BurmaLeave a comment

Burma has refused to accept two Australian politicians who had been nominated to observe this weekend’s by-elections.

Federal Labor MP Janelle Saffin and Liberal Senator Mathias Cormann had been selected to be part of the delegation of five.

Ms Saffin says Burma’s ambassador in Canberra has confirmed the decision.

She says the refusal casts doubt over the whole election process.

“Things like this just add to it not being seen as free and fair,” she said.

“It’s not free and fair anyway in terms of the legal framework, but it was to be the start of a really open process, and situations like this certainly do not help that.”

Burma’s ambassador to Australia, Paw Lwin Sein, says observer countries were only ever invited to send two officials and three members of the media to monitor elections.

He says Australia had already nominated its two officials before the embassy received Ms Saffin’s request.

A total of 48 by-elections will be held on April 1, contested by the opposition National League for Democracy, including its leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Burma’s government is hoping a process that is judged fair will lead to Western sanctions being relaxed.     http://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/latest/a/-/article/13296063/burma-knocks-back-australian-election-monitors/

Lesson Series 67: Prison visits in the Philippines

The Issue

The conditions of prisons in many Asian countries give rise to further abuse and human rights violations, including torture and ill treatment. While existing human rights standards provide for prisoners to have the same human rights as everyone else, with certain limitations due to liberty restrictions, the reality is far different. Throughout Asia, prisoners are denied basic human rights, such as the right to adequate food, sanitation, health care. Prisoners also often suffer verbal and physical abuse.

The idea of visiting prisons and places of detention is to ensure that prisoners’ basic rights are protected. Deprived of their liberties, prisoners are vulnerable to all forms of ill treatment. Moreover, respect of their fundamental rights and needs depends exclusively upon the authorities in charge. Regular visits can therefore improve the transparency within detention centres, which in turn will reduce the levels of abuse.

Burma-Myanmar: “Sunday’s by-elections, key test of democratic reform process,” says UN expert

On By Burma Myanmar newsIn BurmaLeave a comment

GENEVA (30 March 2012) – The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar, Tomás Ojea Quintana, said that Myanmar’s by-elections on 1 April will be a key test of progress made by the Government in its process of reform. In the coming polls, 48 parliamentary seats will be contested.

“This is a crucial moment in Myanmar’s history,” Mr. Ojea Quintana said, recalling his latest report* to the Human Rights Council. “I have consistently stressed that the next round of elections should be truly free, fair, inclusive and transparent, but the credibility of Sunday’s vote will not be determined solely on the day, but in the lead-up to and following election day.”

The Special Rapporteur has been encouraged by the recent wave of democratic reforms in the country that has had a positive impact on the situation of human rights, including the release of a significant number of prisoners of conscience and the re-registration of a number of political parties.

However, noting concerns about reported electoral irregularities, the independent expert called on the authorities to show clear political will to achieve a peaceful and professionally administered electoral process in order to establish public confidence and legitimacy for its democratic transition. He also urged the Government to ensure respect for freedom of expression, opinion, assembly and association.

“The flawed electoral process of the 2010 national elections, which failed to meet international standards, was a missed opportunity for Myanmar to address its challenges in democratisation. It should not be repeated as Myanmar enters a new and more open era,” the Special Rapporteur underscored.
