UNREPRESENTED NATIONS AND PEOPLES ORGANIZATION - CHIN ( CNF )

UNPO REPRESENTATION:
Chin National FrontOn 20 March 1988, the Chin National Front was formed. The aims of the Chin National Front are:  
1) To establish genuine democracy. To do this:
a) A federal union based on national states must be built;
b) The national states' right of secession must be included in the federal constitution;
c) The federal army must be formed with equal strength sent from State armies;
2) To secure the right to national self-determination;
3) To build stronger unity among the entire Chin Nation and
the people of Chinland;
4) To safeguard peace, law and order, justice and equality
within the Chin national territories;
5) To uplift the national political, economic, social status
and living standard of the people of Chinland.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Chin are around 1.5 million people who mainly live in the West of Myanmar, near the border with India. They are one of the most persecuted minority groups in Myanmar. The Chin are ethnically and linguistically very diverse: there are at least six primary Chin tribal groups that can be sub-categorized into 63 sub-tribes. Besides, there are at least twenty mutually unintelligible dialects. The Chins are of Mongoloid ethnicity and, moving south from central China, they settled in the present Chinland. The Chins are composed with several tribes such as: Asho Tribe, Cho Tribe, Khumi Tribe, Kuki Tribe, Laimi Tribe, Lushai Tribe, and Zomi Tribe.
Originally, Chin territory did not only comprise the Chin Hills, but also other neighbouring regions of Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India’s north-eastern states. The occupation of the British in the end of the 18th century, however, brought to an end the free and unified Chinland. As a result of military intervention, the British had assumed control over a large part of Chinland. The territory was divided into separate administrative zones. In 1948, when Myanmar became independent from Britain, the Chin people were further divided, as official international boundaries were demarcated. In 1962, a military coup ended Myanmar’s democratic system. Nearly 50 years of military rule followed.  
As a result, peace is still not restored in Myanmar. The rights of the Chin are still violated. As the majority of the Chin is Christian, while the de facto State religion in Myanmar is Buddhism, the Chin are still being discriminated. According to the Burma’s 2008 Constitution, Buddhism has a special position, while the minority religions in the country are just recognised as existing.

CURRENT ISSUES
As a result of the 50 years of military rule, in 2005 one third of the population of Myanmar lived below the poverty line. In the Chin State, the poverty rate is the highest of the country, reaching approximately 70 per cent.
Next to the high poverty rate, the Chin are still facing human rights violations. The Christian Chin people face violations of religious freedom, forced labour, sexual violence, and extra-judicial killings. According to the Burmese president, Thein Sein, human rights violations in the country are ‘past mistakes’. However, his government has failed to conduct any fully independent or impartial investigations into the violations that happened in the past. On the contrary, under the government of Thein Sein, ethnic and religious minorities still face serious violations.
The religious discrimination of non-Buddhist Chin includes eviction from villages, bans on holding worship services, and assaults.
In 2013, the government of Myanmar continued with violating religious rights. Without respect for the right to freedom of religious assembly or the right to observe days of rest in accordance with the precepts of one’s religion or belief, the President and his officials continued with their decades-long pattern of official events and visits on Sunday mornings in Chin State. Furthermore, local government authorities have threatened Christian villagers in the Chin State to burn down their houses if they continued to assemble for Christian worship.
In May 2014, the government of Myanmar published the draft of the ‘Religious Conversion Law’. If the government is truly going to adopt the legislation, this will unlawfully restrict the right to freely choose a religion. Besides, the law is in violation of fundamental human rights and could increase the violence against religious minorities in Myanmar. In the legislation it is stated that people who are applying for conversion ‘with the intent of destroying a religion’ could be punished with up to two years of imprisonment. If it will adopt these regulations, the government of Myanmar will violate customary international law. Articles and declarations violated by the government include article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1981 United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief. The ‘Religious Conversion Law’ was passed by the upper house of Myanmar’s Parliament in the end of January 2015.
Further human rights violations against the Chin in 2014 include illegal detention and the use of torture, forcibly shutting down of the publication and distribution of Chin newspapers and discriminatory restrictions in the Chin area.
