Joe Crowley (D-NY) and Steve Chabot (R-OH) announced the introduction of the Burma Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2014 (H.R. 3889), legislation that would tie U.S. military assistance in Burma to measurable human rights advancements and military reform. Rep. Crowley says, “We need to proceed very carefully – this is an unreformed military working under an unreformed constitution that operates outside of civilian control. Many more changes are needed before the U.S. military gets involved in military and security assistance programs.” While this introduced bill would permit initial human rights training and disaster assistance, it serves to establish benchmarks that must be met by the Burmese military, including the end to human rights abuses perpetrated by the military and the establishment of civilian-controlled armed forces, before the U.S. provides assistance to the Burmese military.
