political situation in Burma as the most crucial in a decade
of Burma’s historical struggle for democracy.

proposal as outlined by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National
League for Democracy, as the will and the desire of all the
peoples of Burma.
3.The prevailing chaos in Burma as the
culmination of the SPDC negligence of future Burma’s
interests, refusing to peaceful negotiations to resolve problems
and violent repression.
4.The SPDC is entirely responsible for
all the prevailing political upheavals in Burma.
5.The All Burma Students’ Democratic
Organisation (Australia) warmly welcomes the advent of a constructive
negotiation as proposal in the number (4) clause (an open
access to a peaceful negotiation at all times) of the 13 -point
proposal by Daw Aaung San Su Kyi led National League for Democracy.
6.We believe that the NLD refusal to acknowledge
the National Convention by the SPDC, and the preparation and
call for National Assembly to convene before August 21, 1998
as vital for the emergence of a democratic constitution and
democratic Union of Burma.

Organization (Australia) places the active demands of the
people of Burma led by Daw Aung San Su Kyi as the principal
political priority and undertaking in Burma and supports it
accordingly.

changing politics in Burma and to act in concert and balance,
internally and internationally.
9.We urge, all, international governments,
non-governmental organizations, Burmese patriots and the democracy-loving
people of Burma, who are striving for Burma’s democracy
to operate and struggle with us in this hour of our urgency,
as an historical undertaking for the future of Burma.
