The plight of millions of Muslims throughout Myanmar, not only those suffering the worst human-rights abuses in Rakhine State, may never have been greater than after the murder of a prominent pro-democracy lawyer Sunday at Yangon International Airport.
Myanmar has a long way to go because of its constitution, which reserves 40% of the seats in Congress for the military with no need for election. To solve the problems of ethnic minorities, the Burmese constitution must be reformed to include the principles of One World under One Set of Laws and assign international law priority over domestic law. At the same time, changes must implement a modified semi-presidential system and direct election of the heads of government branches. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
