Second Solution

A short term solution that is as effective in granting back some independence for the Burmese people is helping purchase back the land that once belonged to local farmers since ultimately all land is owned by the government (military). Developing a new policy or implementing a new constitution may be a bit of a stretch for a start but repurchasing back land from the government will give the citizens the support and financial ability to help regain their complete independence and human rights.

This can be done by having the UN and/or United States support the development of a written land policy on land use and require that the majority have land be given back to its citizens whether it be free or by purchase. The Burmese government states that they already have a land use policy implemented, however it is not written in their constitution or stated clearly in any state documents, and therefore it is not enforced. The United States and other potential donors would help provide technical, legal, and other forms of support for the foundation and implementation of this land policy.

By giving the Burmese citizens their land back, it takes away a great majority of power from the central government and also gives responsibilities back to the citizens The UN, the Unites States, and other countries obviously cannot implement these policies alone. They depend on the corporation and support of the citizens as well. That means the citizens need to leave all conflicts aside, unite, and uses their votes wisely in all elections and voting opportunities.

  1. Be careful not to put the US in more situations. Focus more on the UN or other Asian countries.
