On March 18, the Northern Yinmabin No Return Wave Revolution Strike Column conducted a public demonstration in Yinmabin Township, Sagaing Region, calling for the implementation of International Labour Organization (ILO) Article 33 on Myanmar. The movement aims to draw global attention to forced labor, human rights violations, and labor rights abuses under the military dictatorship. The demonstration was organized under the banner ‘ILO Implement Article 33 On Myanmar Now 2025’.
ILO Article 33 is a provision that allows for action to be taken against member states that severely violate labor rights. In current-day Myanmar, the military junta is widely engaging in forced military conscription, forced labor, and war crimes against civilians. The demonstration seeks to pressure the international community to take more effective action against Myanmar, specifically calling on the ILO to implement Article 33 against the military regime.
The Northern Yinmabin No Return Wave Revolution Strike Column continues to conduct anti-dictatorship activities alongside local civilians. This latest movement is part of their ongoing efforts to encourage more robust international action against Myanmar’s military regime. The demonstration highlights the urgent need for concrete measures to address the widespread human rights violations and labor abuses being perpetrated by the military council against the people of Myanmar.
