AAPP is proud to release our recent report, “Ratification of International treaties: Burma and the argument for ratification of UN human rights conventions, protocols and covenants.”

This paper provides an overview of Burma’s current obligations under international law, the role of human rights treaties in Burma’s democratic transition, obstacles to reform and recommendations the need for Burma to ratify both the UNCAT and ICCPR.

It is available both in Burmese and English.

You can access the report online here or collect physical copies from our offices in both Rangoon and Mae Sot.

The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), otherwise known as AAPP, is a human rights organization based in Mae Sot, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. AAPP advocates for the release of all remaining political prisoners in Burma and for the improvement of their quality of life during and after incarceration. AAPP has developed rehabilitation and assistance programs for those political activists who have been released while continuing to document the ongoing imprisonment of political activists in Burma.

As long as political prisoners exist inside Burma, Burma will not be free. They represent the struggle for democracy, human rights, equality and freedom for the people of Burma. This makes the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners an integral part of Burma’s drive for national reconciliation.
