Promotion of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work as Tools for Peace in Myanmar

The political and economic reform process currently taking place in Myanmar and the introduction of genuine democracy and a more open and equitable society, being objectives shared by both the EU and the ILO, is dependent on the continuation and consolidation of the peace process and its ownership by all stakeholders particularly the ethnic peoples who have been the most directly affected by the conflict. To that end, this action proposes a number of distinct target activities each designed to work together towards supporting the consolidation of the peace process. It recognizes that ethnic communities in or in close proximity to the areas of long standing conflict, including in the areas designated for Special Economic Zone (SEZ) development, must see real, lasting benefits out of the peace process.
