Myanmar's transition without justice

This chapter shows how measures to advance justice during Myanmar’s transition are being led from the bottom up by community-based groups, local religious organisations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), without support from key political actors in the transition.2 The conception of justice put forward by organisations such as the KBC focuses on securing justice in individual cases such as those of Ra and Tsin, in order to deter further crimes, end military impunity and bear witness to the wrong done to victims. There are also, however, broader and more complex forms of justice that are also promoted by civil society organisations.
