On March 16, the Northern No-Return Spring Revolution Strike Column conducted a public demonstration in Yinmabin Township, Sagaing Region, calling for the implementation of Article 33 of the International Labour Organization (ILO). This movement aims to seek international community involvement in ending the military dictatorship and promoting democracy in Myanmar. The demonstration was organized under the banner ‘ILO Implement Article 33 On Myanmar Now 2025.’
Article 33 of the ILO Constitution allows for economic sanctions against member states that violate workers’ rights. This public movement seeks to draw global attention to the numerous violations of workers’ rights, forced labor practices, military conscription, and other human rights abuses that Myanmar people are enduring under the military regime. The demonstration highlights the urgent need for international intervention through economic measures to address these systematic violations.
The Northern No-Return Spring Revolution Strike Column continues to conduct anti-military dictatorship activities with strong support from local communities. This movement represents part of the broader people’s revolution occurring throughout Myanmar, calling for more effective action from the international community. The demonstration emphasizes the critical role of international organizations like the ILO in pressuring the military regime through legitimate diplomatic and economic channels to restore democratic governance and protect workers’ rights in Myanmar.
