FOR DEMOCRACY IN BURMA

the entire international community needs to vigorously agitate. It is a shame on the conscience of world humanity that intrepid human rights activist and Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is languishing in detention since long years and millions of peaceloving innocent people are being trampled under military boots in this small neighbour of ours, which after all was a part of [British] India till 1937. It is heartening to note that eminent British lawyers have recently protested vigorously demanding restoration of democracy in Burma. The United Nations also tried to intervene by sending its special emissary Gambari but it seems his efforts to bring the military junta to peace talks have come to a naught. As long as major nations do not intervene actively – at least not support the junta with monetary and military aid as China does – it is doubtful whether the dark night enveloping the Burmese people will end soon. International sanctions againt the regime there must be and the Security Council should intervene even to the extent of threatening or initiating military action against the military rulers who are cruelly repressing even the generally respected, peaceloving Buddhist monks. More important, civil rights activists all over the world should agitate and mobilize people to pressurize China, the mainstay of the junta, to forthwith stop all aid to the regime and bring it to the negotiating table for restoration of democracy. Our Indian government also needs to be goaded to become proactive. We must even threaten Boycott of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, making it the main plank of the pro-democracy agitation in the coming months. We urge and expect our lawyers also raise their concerted voice against the dictatorship in Burma and demand the immediate release of the beacon of Burmese liberty §§§

Brochure LAW ANIMATED WORLD

LAW ANIMATED WORLD
A world law fortnightly published from Hyderabad, India.
Owner, Printer and Publisher: I. BalamaniEditor: I. Mallikarjuna Sharma
ADVISORY BOARD: Dr. Lakshmi Sahgal (INA Colonel), V.R. Krishna Iyer (Former Judge, SC), B.P. Jeevan Reddy (Former Judge, SC), P.A. Choudary (Former Judge, APHC), Surendra Mohan (Ex-MP), Prof. R.V.R. Chandrasekhara Rao (Politics), Umesh Chandra (Senior Advocate, Lucknow), Colin Gonsalves (Senior Advocate, Delhi), K. Subba Rao (Senior Advocate, Bangalore), K.G. Kannabiran (Senior Advocate & National President, PUCL) & Ms. Chandan Ramamurthi (Advocate, Delhi).
This is a journal meant to inform the public about the necessary details regarding important developments of law all over the world thus contributing in general to the cause of human progress and welfare. We are all members of one great human species and it is the grand noble ideal always projected in our country since very ancient times to view the entire world as one family - vasudhaiva kutumbakam. This law fortnightly has been formally started in March 2005 but prior to that for one year it appeared in almost regular fortnightly bulletins. We are committed to the ideals and causes of progress, democracy, liberty, equality, fraternity and human welfare in consonance with environmental improvement and universal harmony. Politically we are dedicated to and so would like to project the virtues of scientific socialism but at the same time we refrain from being closed-minded and try to be in the know of and also report about the various other streams of thought and analysis abounding all over the world. As the title of this journal indicates we largely confine its scope to law-reporting with, of course, occasional and necessary incursions into the fields of economics, sociology, history, politics and culture. This is no ordinary law reporter but a unique journal of its type in our country. We will be making, as and when necessary, some ‘ruthless criticism of all existing conditions’ in the columns of this paper in addition to reporting valuable judgments and decisions by various international and foreign courts and forums including, of course and occasionally, our own courts. The goal of scientific socialism we will never forget but it will be enriched and modified as needed by considerations of liberty, democracy and humanity. Hope the readers would understand and appreciate our ideals and intentions and wholeheartedly encourage and assist us in our endeavours.
We are grateful to the many friends and well-wishers who have so far extended their moral and monetary support. But there is great need to rapidly increase the circulation of the journal and also augment its lean coffers. We request and hope that many more friends and well-wishers would come to our aid and appeal to one and all to publicize this journal, enroll more subscribers, enlist liberal donors and also try securing some advertisements at least.
