MYANMAR BURMA : Human rights and citizenship
EDITORAL EMG
As Myanmar is a sovereign country, it has enacted strong laws that protect the inherent rights of its citizens. There is already a law that specifies the requirements in determining the citizenship of a person in this country. The Myanmar Citizenship Law states: “1982 Pyithu Hluttaw Law No. 4, Myanmar Citizenship Law shall be enacted starting from October 15, 1982.” This Law is known as the 1982 Citizenship Law, and it clearly states the requirements for citizenship.
Religious and racial issues have arisen ever since communal violence broke out in Rakhine State last year. The international community has been talking about Bengali and Rohingya issues. Apart from the racial and religious elements, foreign observers also regard the Bengali and Rohingya situation as a citizenship issue. Myanmar discussed these things only as a bilateral immigration issue, and anyone deserving of citizenship should be systematically recognised as citizens in accordance with the 1982 Citizenship Law. During this time, the Parliament also discussed the 1982 Citizenship Law.
However, the Human Rights Committee under the United Nations General Assembly, in a resolution on Tuesday, urged Myanmar to recognise the Rohingya minority as citizens in Myanmar.
Government officials, and political parties including the opposition party National League for Democracy, have responded to this announcement. They responded that this statement from the Human Rights Committee under the UN General Assembly interferes in Myanmar’s internal affairs and that citizenship can only be granted in accordance with the existing law.
According to the 1982 Myanmar Citizenship Law, the following persons born in or outside the State are also citizens: (a) persons born of parents, both of whom are citizens; (b) persons born of parents, one of whom is a citizen and the other an associate citizen (c) persons born of parents, one of whom and the other a naturalized citizen; (d) persons born of parents one of whom is (i) a citizen; or (ii) an associate citizen; or (iii) a naturalized citizen; and the other is born of parents, both of whom are associate citizens; (e) persons born of parents, one of whom is (i) a citizen; or (ii) an associate citizen; or (iii) a naturalized citizen; and the other is born of parents, both of whom are naturalized citizens; (f) persons born of parents one of whom is (i) a citizen; or (ii) an associate citizen; or (iii) a naturalized citizen; and the other is born of parents, one of whom is an associate citizen and the other a naturalized citizen.
Human rights refer to the freedom and rights of individual human beings. Only the existing Citizenship Law of a respective sovereign country can be the major factor in determining citizenship. Thus, Eleven Media wants to highlight the importance of respecting human rights and the importance of the existing Citizenship Law in recognising citizenship.

ဦးလွေဆြမွတ္ခ်က္ကို ေတြးၾကည္႔မိတယ္။ ဦးလွေဆြရဲ႔ Argument ထဲမွာ
BY MYO SET
ဦးလွေဆြမွတ္ခ်က္ကို ေတြးၾကည္႔မိတယ္။
ဦးလွေဆြရဲ႔ Argument ထဲမွာ
(၁) ႏိုင္ငံသားလကၡဏာ (National Identity)
(၂) ခြဲၿခားမႈကို ဆန္႔က်င္ၿခင္း
(၃) ဒီေၿမေပၚမွာေမြးဖြားသူရဲ႔ ရပိုင္ခြင္႔ (Birth Right)
(၄) 1982 ႏိုင္ငံသားဥပေဒ
ေလးခ်က္ကို အဓိက ထားေၿပာသြားတာကိုေတြ႔ရပါတယ္။
(၁)National Identity အေပၚ သူ႔ရဲ႔ဖြင္႔ဆုိခ်က္မွာ ၿမန္မာဆုိတာ ဘဂၤလားကလာတဲ႔လံုခ်ည္နဲ႔ တရုတ္ကလာတဲ႔ လည္ကတံုး ဆုိတဲ႔သေဘာကို ၿပၿပီး နိုင္ငံတစ္ခုဟာ တစ္ႏုိင္ငံတည္းရပ္တည္လို႔ မရဘူးလို႔ေၿပာသြားပါတယ္။ တစ္ကယ္က သူ႔ရဲ႔ ဥပမာဟာ လူ႔ယဥ္ေက်းမႈေတြအ ၿပန္အလွန္စီးကူးယွက္ႏြယ္ေနတဲ႔ ယဥ္ေက်းမႈေတြဆင္႔ကဲၿဖစ္ထြန္းၿခင္း ၿဖစ္စဥ္တစ္မ်ိဳးသာၿဖစ္ပါတယ္။ ယိုးဒယားအကေတြကို ၿမန္မာေတြၿပန္လည္အသံုးခ်သလိုပါပဲ။
ၿမန္မာႏုိင္ငံရဲ႔ National Identity ဆုိတာ ဘဂၤလားနဲ႔တရုတ္ေပါင္းစပ္ထားတဲ႔ ကၿပားလကၡဏာမဟုတ္ပါဘူး။ ၿမန္မာ႔ဓေလ႔ဆုိတာ Buddhist Civilization ၾကီးထဲက ဗုဒၶဘာသာကိုအေၿခခံတဲ႔ လူ႔ေဘာင္ယဥ္ေက်းမႈေတြေပါင္းစပ္ထားတဲ႔ လကၡဏာပါ။ အဲ႔လိုဓေလ႔ကို ၿမန္မာႏိုင္ငံထဲက လူမ်ိဳးဘာသာမေရြးလက္ခံက်င္႔သံုးၾကပါတယ္။ “အတူမွ်ေဝခံစားလကၡဏာမ်ား Shared common characters” ေတြလို႔ ေၿပာလို႔ရမွာပါ။ တရုတ္နဲ႔လဲမတူ၊ ဘဂၤလားနဲ႔လဲမတူ ၿမန္မာႏုိင္ငံသားလကၡဏာဟာ သီးသန္႔၇ွိပါတယ္။ ၿမန္မာႏိုင္ငံထဲက Burmanized Muslims, Burmanized Chinese ေတြကိုၾကည္႔ၾကည္႔ပါ။ ထုိင္ဝမ္ေရာက္ ၿမန္မာဖြားတရုတ္ေတြဟာ သၾကၤန္မိုးသီခ်င္းဆုိၾကပါတယ္။ ဒါဟာ National Identity ရဲ႔လကၡဏာတစ္ခုပါပဲ။ ဦးလွေဆြေၿပာတဲ႔ Argument ဟာ အဖြင္႔မွာကတည္းက သေဘာမတူခ်င္စရာတစ္ခုေတြ႔မိပါတယ္။
(၂) ခြဲၿခားမႈကို ဆန္႔က်င္ၿခင္းအေနနဲ႔ မာတင္လူသာကင္းတို႔ရဲ႔ Civil Right Movement ေတြနဲ႔ ယွဥ္ၿပီးေၿပာသြားခဲ႔ပါတယ္။ ဘဂၤါလီေတြကို ကန္႔သတ္ၿခင္းအားၿဖင္႔ လူ႔အဖြဲ႔အစည္းရဲ႔ ရလာႏုိင္စရာရွိတဲ႔ အခြင္႔အလမ္း Human Capital ဆံုးရံႈးသြားစရာ ကို သူက ေၿပာခ်င္တာကို ေတြ႔ရပါတယ္။ ေနာက္တစ္ခ်က္အေနနဲ႔ ဖိနွိပ္မႈေၾကာင္႔ ၿဖစ္လာႏုိင္တဲ႔ တန္ၿပန္သက္ေရာက္မႈကို ထည္႔သြင္းေၿပာၾကားသြားပါတယ္။
ဒီမွာ စဥ္းစားဖုိ႔၇ွိလာပါတယ္။ National Identity ရႈေထာင္႔ကၾကည္႔ရင္ ႏုိင္ငံသားလကၡဏာဆုိတာ ႏုိင္ငံတစ္ခုထဲက လူေတြဟာ ဘာသာေရး၊ လူမ်ိဳးေရးကြဲခ်င္ကြဲမယ္။ သူတို႔အားလံုးဟာ အသြင္တစ္ခုတည္းေအာက္မွာရွိၾကတယ္။ ဘဂၤါလီရိုဟင္ဂ်ာေတြရဲ႔ အသြင္နဲ႔ ၿမန္မာၿပည္ထဲက လူေတြရဲ႔ Cultural values ေတြတူပါရဲ႔လား။ က်ေနာ္ကေတာ႔ တူတယ္လို႔မထင္ပါဘူး။ ၿမန္မာၿပည္ထဲက မြတ္ဆလင္ေတြ၊ ခရစ္ယာန္ေတြဟာ ဗုဒၶဘာသာေတြနဲ႔ ဘာသာေရးမတူခ်င္တာသာရွိမယ္…သၾကၤန္ကို အားလံုးေပ်ာ္တတ္ၾကပါတယ္။ ဒါဟာ Shared cultural values ဆိုတာရဲ႔ ဥပမာတစ္ခုပါပဲ။
ဘဂၤါလီရိုဟင္ဂ်ာေတြနဲ႔တူတဲ႔ ယဥ္ေက်းမႈေတြက ဘဂၤလားေဒ႔ရွ္၊ ပါကစၥတန္တို႔ကိုသာ ၿမင္မိပါတယ္။ ဒီလို ဘဂၤါလီေတြနဲ႔ ယဥ္ေက်းမႈမွာ ၿပင္းထန္တဲ႔ ရခုိင္ေတြကို ေဘးခ်င္းအတူတူထားမယ္ဆုိရင္ ဒီေဒသဟာ ပဋိပကၡေတြမၾကာခဏ ေတာက္ေလာင္မယ္႔ကိစၥ ၿဖစ္ေနမွာ အေသအခ်ာပါပဲ။ ဒီလို Cultural Clash ေတြဟာ ထည္႔ၿပီးစဥ္းစားရမယ္႔ၿပႆနာၿဖစ္ပါတယ္။
ေနာက္တစ္ခ်က္က နယ္စပ္ေဒသမွာ တစ္ဖက္ႏုိင္ငံနဲ႔ ယဥ္ေက်းမႈၿခင္းနီးစပ္ၿပီး သစၥာခံမႈပိုင္းေထြၿပားႏုိင္စရာရွိတဲ႔ လူစုေတြဟာ သဘာဝအရကို လက္နက္ကိုင္ၿခင္း၊ လြတ္ေၿမာက္နယ္ေၿမေတာင္းဆုိၿခင္းနဲ႔ ခြဲထြက္ခြင္႔ဖန္တီးၿခင္း စတာေတြကို အလိုလို ၿဖစ္ေပၚေစၿမဲၿဖစ္ပါတယ္။ ပုလဲသြယ္ေရလမ္းေတြနဲ႔နီးစပ္လွတဲ႔ ေမာင္ေတာေဒသ၊ ေနာက္ မဟာဗ်ဴဟာ ပြိ္ဳင္႔ လာမယ္႔ဆယ္စုနွစ္အတြင္းၿဖစ္လာႏုိင္စရာ၇ွိတဲ႔ ေက်ာက္ၿဖဴေဒသေတြအတြက္ ထည္႔စဥ္းစားဖို႔လိုပါလိမ္႔မယ္။ ဒီေဒသ မတည္ၿငိမ္မႈဟာ ၿမန္မာၿပည္အတြက္အက်ိဳးယုတ္ေစဖုိ႔သာ ၿဖစ္ေပၚေစပါလိမ္႔မယ္။

MYANMAR DAW AUNG SAN SUU KYI:” I am not very keen on colourful statements”
Burma’s 1982 Citizenship Law is something Burmese citizens got to decide.
————————-
she said: “With regard to whether or not Rohingya are citizens of the country, that depends very much on whether or not they meet the requirements of the citizenship law as they now exist.
Tokyo: Myanmar democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi defended her conciliatory political style Wednesday, saying her focus was on building a more unified society rather than making headlines.Suu Kyi, visiting Japan this week, said many interviewers have asked her why she does not speak more forcefully about the plight of minority groups in her nation.
She said she has been addressing those issues, albeit in ways that people may consider “boring”.
“In fact, I have been speaking all the time about ethnic nationalities. But the point was that my statements were not colourful enough to please everybody,” she told a press conference.
“Actually I am not very keen on colourful statements. I am sorry if people do not find my comments interesting enough to acknowledge them.
“But I have been speaking a lot about ethnic nationalities and problems of national reconciliation in our country, except that I speak in a way in which, I suppose, most people consider slightly boring.” Continue reading “MYANMAR DAW AUNG SAN SUU KYI:” I am not very keen on colourful statements””
Rakhine protesters fight against planned BENGALI,SO CALLED Rohingya housing proposed by the Turkish NGO TIKA
“Half the 4959 houses to be donated will be built in Pauktaw and the rest in six townships in Rakhine State. In Sittwe, 500 big huts will be built as well. The huts don’t matter, but if houses are built, land ownership issues will ensue. It would constitute giving them plots of land without scrutinising their citizenship. That is why we object.”
Monday, 18 March 2013 A plan to build 5000 homes for displaced members of the Rohingya community in Rakhine State has sparked a series of demonstrations. Protesters say the plan, which has been proposed by the Turkish NGO TIKA, could allow the Rohingya to own land in disputed areas.
Thousands of people defied police warnings to take to the streets in Sittwe, Kyauktaw and Mrauk-Oo on March 7 to voice discontent. Two activists were arrested, but released the same evening.
Last year, hundreds of people were killed and more than 100,000 displaced in outbreaks of violence between Buddhist and Muslim communities in Rakhine State.
U Kyaw Zaw, who led about 10,000 demonstrators in Sittwe, told The Myanmar Times: “Half the 4959 houses to be donated will be built in Pauktaw and the rest in six townships in Rakhine State. In Sittwe, 500 big huts will be built as well. The huts don’t matter, but if houses are built, land ownership issues will ensue. It would constitute giving them plots of land without scrutinising their citizenship. That is why we object.”
U Kyaw Zaw said Sittwe township police had turned down their application to demonstrate, so they submitted it to the state government, which had summoned them to answer questions, he said.
“The state government doesn’t handle matters relating to permission to build 5000 separate houses but the Ministry of Progress of Border Areas and National Races does, they say. However they didn’t deny officially that they had accepted the offer. They threatened us with legal action if we demonstrated.”
But demonstrations took place in the three townships to demand the enforcement of the 1982 citizenship law. On March 7, activists Kyaw Zaw Oo and Daw Nyo Aye were arrested, but were released on bail within hours, said U Kyaw Zaw Oo.
