There have been a number of new reports on
Myanmar’s legal and political system.
A report
on the legal profession was recently released by the International
Commission of Jurists. The
substantive aspect of the report can be seen as building on the broader
assessment of the legal system by the International
Bar Association in 2012
There has been a new report
assessing legislative activity in Myanmar, released by International Crisis
Group.
There have also been a range of reports by other
organisations on more specific aspects of the legal system, such as a report on the right to peaceful assembly by Article 19, and a report on state and region governance by the Asia Foundation and
MDRI.
Finally, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung has just
published a journal edition on ‘Myanmar in
Transition’, available online.
