A public movement calling for the implementation of International Labour Organization (ILO) Article 33 on Myanmar was held in Yinmabin Township, Sagaing Region, on March 18. The demonstration was led by the Northern No-Return Spring Revolution Strike Column, aiming to bring international attention to forced labor and human rights violations under the military dictatorship. The peaceful protest involved local civilians displaying signs and banners opposing the military regime.
ILO Article 33 is a provision that allows for effective measures to be taken when a member state severely violates workers’ rights. The current situation in Myanmar involves widespread military-imposed forced conscription, confiscation of civilian property, and fundamental human rights violations. The protest specifically highlighted these issues, seeking international intervention through the implementation of Article 33.
The Northern No-Return Spring Revolution Strike Column continues to organize activities to protect civilian rights and work towards the end of the military dictatorship. Through such public movements, they hope to gain international attention and prompt effective action against the ongoing human rights violations in Myanmar. The demonstration represents part of the broader civilian resistance against military rule and the struggle for the restoration of democratic governance in the country.
