With the world watching closely, Myanmar began a process of
political, administrative and institutional transition from 30
January 2011. After convening the parliament, elected in November
2010, the former military regime transferred power to a new
government headed by former Prime Minister (and retired general), U
Thein Sein. With parliamentary processes restored in Myanmar's new
capital of Naypyitaw, Thein Sein's government announced a
wide-ranging reform agenda, and began releasing political prisoners
and easing press censorship. Pivotal meetings between Thein Sein
and Aung San Suu Kyi led to amendment of the Election Law and the
National League for Democracy contesting by-elections in April
2012. The 2011 Myanmar/Burma update conference considered the
openings offered by these political changes and media reforms and
the potential opportunities for international assistance. Obstacles
covered include impediments to the rule of law, the continuation of
human rights abuses, the impunity of the Army, and the failure to
end ethnic insurgency.
