The exodus from Rakhine state in Myanmar began after Rohingya militants attacked police posts on 25 August 2017, prompting a military backlash that has sent a third of the Muslim minority population fleeing for their lives. Since then, more than 600,000 Rohingya refugees have become the problem of the world - with Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar's military leaders unwilling to take responsibility for the atrocities committed by soldiers of the Tatmadaw against the Rohingya people. Hence this book endeavours to improve public policy in Myanmar, so that a just social peace can be manifested in the country. Social challenges - such as Military Dictatorship, Islamophobia and Hardline Buddhism - are also explored in this work, as well as suggestions how religious education can be improved in Myanmar; so that the UDHR can be manifested in Myanmar. RESTORING THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS (UDHR) AND THE UN CONVENTION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD (UNCRC) IN MYANMAR. A senior US official has urged China to do more to rein in Myanmar's military after its execution of four people, saying that "it cannot be business as usual with the junta", as the killings drew widespread international condemnation. State department spokesperson Ned Price told a briefing: "Arguably, no country has the potential to influence the trajectory of Burma's next steps more so than the PRC [People's Republic of China]", noting that the junta "has not faced the level of economic and in some cases diplomatic pressure that we would like to see". US secretary of state Antony Blinken, who met activists from Myanmar in Bangkok this month, voiced confidence the killings would not hinder the country's democracy movement. "The regime's sham trials and these executions are blatant attempts to extinguish democracy; these actions will never suppress the spirit of the brave people of Burma." The UN special rapporteur Thomas Andrews said he was "outraged and devastated" by the executions and called for a strong international response. "The widespread and systematic murders of protesters, indiscriminate attacks against entire villages, and now the execution of opposition leaders, demands an immediate and firm response by member states of the United Nations." The International Community is advised to keep a safe distance from Gen. Min Aung Hlaing and his henchmen until rule of law, justice, democracy and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) have been restored in Myanmar.
