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