toc =Declaration of Independence (Final) = Myanmar’s Declaration of Independence November 3, 2010 We the people of Myanmar are writing this formal document to address the discrepancies between us. The government here is infringing on our natural rights and hence we have the right to separate. Out of respect we feel that it is right to tell you our reasons for breaking away from this government. People have the right to life, liberty, and self-defense. Everyone has the right to live peacefully and to not be killed for unjust reasons. They also have the right to be free and be able to as they please as long as it doesn’t inflict harm on others or themselves. Lastly people have the right to protect themselves from harm. Government is created to protect and preserve people’s natural rights, but when a government fails to do so we have the right to get rid of the government and create a new one. The government of Myanmar allowed the following to happen: The military regime made a constitution and said that 92.48 % agreed on it, but the people thought that it was illegitimate There have been many abuses such as custodial deaths, unauthorized killings, disappearances, torture, harassment, and abuse Prisoners are kept in life threatening conditions, are unable to communicate, and denied proper medical treatment The citizens are restricted from freedom, speech, press, association, and religion There is discrimination towards women and children Workers rights are restricted, and forced labor is used Government recruits child soldiers Deprivation of life Multiple people are killed in custody, and no one is held accountable Government doesn’t investigate killings or attempt to punish the people who have committed them Many people “disappear” for periods of time We the people of Myanmar have no other option but to separate from this corrupt government. People will no longer be denied the freedom they deserve or killed for unjust reasons. We will no longer be abused or harmed by the government’s cruel ways. As a newly free country with out natural rights restored to us we have the rights do so as we please in a peaceful manner. Our country is considered equal with the surrounding countries, and we also have the rights do as they do.

Myanmar’s Declaration of Independence November 2, 2010 We the people of Myanmar are writing this formal document to address the discrepancies between us. The government here is infringing on our natural rights and hence we have the right to separate. Out of respect we feel that it is right to tell you are reasons for breaking away from this government. Government is created to protect and preserve people’s natural rights, but when a government fails to do so we have the right to get rid of the government and create a new one. People have the right to life, liberty, and self-defense. Everyone have the right to live peacefully and to not be killed for unjust reasons. They also have the right to be free and be able to as they please as long as it doesn’t inflict harm on others or themselves. Lastly people have the right to protect themselves from harm. The government of Myanmar needed to more to prevent the following: The military regime made a constitution and said that 92.48 % agreed on it, but the people thought that it was illegitimate There have been many abuses such as custodial deaths, unauthorized killings, disappearances, torture, harassment, and abuse Prisoners are kept in life threatening conditions, are unable to communicate, and denied proper medical treatment The citizens are restricted from freedom, speech, press, association, and religion There is discrimination towards women and children Workers rights are restricted, and forced labor is used Government recruits child soldiers “The government took no significant actions to prosecute or punish those for human rights abuses.” Deprivation of life Multiple people are killed in custody, and no one is held accountable Government doesn’t investigate killings or attempt to punish the people who have committed them Many people “disappear” for periods of time

We the people of Myanmar have no other option but to separate from this corrupt government. There have been multiple abuses towards the citizens, and many unjust and violent killings. Many of these killings were unnecessary, but they still occurred. Are natural rights are not being protected so we can abolish your government and create a new one that will restore out natural rights to us. We the people will no longer be abused or harmed by your cruel government. As a newly free country we have the rights do so as we please in a peaceful manor. Our country is considered equal with the surrounding countries, and we also have the rights do as they do.
