Human Rights
Up one levelSince an army coup overthrew Burma's last democratically elected government in 1962, the country’s military-controlled regimes have been among the world's worst violators of human rights. The United Nations, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Burmese organizations and many other groups have repeatedly detailed the extensive and egregious abuses inflicted on Burma’s peoples. This section of the BurmaGuide.Net includes resource summaries regarding Burmese and international human rights groups, many human rights documents, and toolkits for defending and promoting human rights.
