Dear friend
The military in Burma are the main obstacle to improving human rights, democracy and development in Burma. But instead of facing pressure to reform, almost all sanctions on them have been lifted, and they travel the world being wined and dined as honoured guests. Governments and companies are trying to win contracts to supply the Burmese military and go into business with them. This must stop.
Burma Campaign UK is considering relaunching the ‘Dirty List’. We originally published the Dirty List back in 2002, as a way of naming and shaming and putting pressure on companies which were helping to fund the military in Burma or were linked with human rights violations. It successfully persuaded more than 100 companies to cut their links with the military.
Can you complete this short survey to help us decide if and how a new ‘Dirty List’ should operate?
For more information about the pros and cons of a campaign to renew economic pressure on the military in Burma, see our briefing here.
Many thanks for your support.
