Burma Credentials Challenge at the United Nations
Action Announcement – 1 August 2008
Beginning August 4th at 9 AM and continuing everyday through September, Burmese and non-Burmese activists will rally at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to call for the international community to recognize that the military junta in Burma is illegitimate and not the representative government of the people of Burma.
The legitimate government of the people of Burma was elected in 1990 during a free and fair General Election. The military junta in Burma, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), illegally and ruthlessly disregarded the will of the people and the results of this 1990 General Election. The SPDC maintains its power through a reign of terror and brute force; the SPDC is not and has never been the legal or legitimate state government of Burma.
