On March 5, protest groups in Shwebo Township, Sagaing Region, conducted a public awareness campaign in villages, distributing leaflets calling for the International Labour Organization (ILO) to take action against the military council under Article 33. The campaign focused on raising awareness about the need for effective international action against the military council’s violations of labor rights and forced labor practices.
The distributed materials detailed the military council’s ongoing violations of worker rights and called for the implementation of ILO Article 33 as an enforcement mechanism. This activity is part of the broader civilian resistance movement against the military council’s coup and its continued oppression of the Myanmar people. The Shwebo Township protest groups, working in coordination with local communities, are pushing for more effective international response to the military council’s actions.
The campaign materials specifically focused on documenting the military council’s labor rights violations, forced labor practices, and other crimes against civilians. The protest groups emphasized the importance of international accountability mechanisms, particularly through the ILO’s enforcement capabilities under Article 33. This grassroots effort represents part of the ongoing civilian resistance movement’s strategy to seek international intervention and accountability for the military council’s actions against the people of Myanmar.
