The National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) convened for the first time a meeting to establish safe areas that protect civilians from attacks by ground and air strikes of the State Administration Council (SAC). The meetings took place in Karen, Karenni, Chin, Magway and Sagaing Divisions.
"This Congress strongly condemns any violation of international human rights law, including the Geneva Conventions. This includes the widespread and intentional arrests and torture of innocent people throughout the Union, these are crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide," said the NUCC in a statement that also called on the SAC Council to take action at the International Criminal Court through the UN Security Council.
NUCC leaders held a press conference on the afternoon of January 30 following their People's Congress, which convened from January 27 to 29.
At the press conference, NUCC representatives said they had made a number of political decisions to combat the military dictatorship and establish a future federal democratic union.
"We have been able to review and agree on the constitutional plan for eight months, mainly between Part I and Part 2 of the Federal Democratic Charter, which was the most important part of this revolution," said U Maung Maung of the Labor Alliance, a NUCC leader.
In April, after the military coup, the National Unity Government, led by the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), presented its report before the People's Assembly in accordance with the constitutional plan for the second phase of the Federal Democracy Charter.
“In fact, the NUCC has a responsibility to regulate the National Union Government (NUG) government. During this revolution, the NUCC will set policies. This will be implemented by the NUG and other cooperation committees and commissions,” said another NUCC leader.
The NUCC, which previously included representatives from 28 temporary organizations, was reorganized into 33 organizations, including ethnic revolutionary organizations (EROs), state / ethnic-based council committees, spring revolutionary forces, political parties and the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Representative Committee.
A statement from the People's Assembly stated that 338 delegates and observers attended the first online conference.
