Description

U.S. policy toward Burma has kept attention riveted on democracy, on nudging the Burmese military junta toward a commitment to elections, on holding the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to high standards regarding human rights and religious freedom, and on galvanizing regional and global support for a policy trajectory that edges the country closer to a moment when free speech, assembly, and freedom from fear dislodge the stranglehold of the military dictatorship that has dominated Burma since the early 1990s.
