Should Aung San Suu Kyi be Stripped of her Nobel Peace Prize?
Posted: 09/04/2012 12:42 pm
The
Nobel Peace prize is generally awarded in recognition of achievements;
or as inspiration to help mobilize international pressure to support
human rights activists in countries where reform is urgently needed.
President Obama's Peace prize in 2009 was for his "extraordinary efforts
to strengthen diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" and for
fostering "a new climate" in international relations, especially in
reaching out to the Muslim world.
Beyond the notable speech in
Cairo, President Obama has done little more than to gradually withdraw
troops from Iraq and soon, Afghanistan. The Nobel Peace prize has again
lost a little of its luster, somewhat tarnished by the award to
Kissinger and Le Duc Tho in 1973. Le Duc Tho had the integrity to refuse
the prize as his North Vietnamese troops were still moving south and
peace did not come until 1975.
So with the latest Nobel Laureate
Aung San Suu Kyi, hopefully, the symbol of the Peace Prize becomes more
meaningful. Leader of the Democracy movement in Myanmar, Aung San Suu
Kyi has for many years represented peaceful resistance to oppression. In
her acceptance speech she said the award was for "a free, secure and
just society" and international acknowledgement that "the oppressed and
the isolated in Burma were also a part of the world."
Aware that
she had a huge task ahead in Myanmar with the still present iron hand of
military oppression, she became the focus of the hopes of the people of
Myanmar for democracy and freedom. After all, Nobel Peace Laureates
bear with them a responsibility to be international moral brokers for a
world in need of leaders, and it is with profound disappointment that
Aung San Suu Kyi has not lived up to early expectations. Her silence on
the plight of the Muslim Rohingya people in the Arakan province in
Myanmar is inexplicable in light of her previous moral stands against
oppression. At a time when human rights are being so blatantly and
cruelly abused, her moral authority is surely of high enough standing
that she could risk supporting an unpopular cause.
For it is
politics that seems to be dictating her silence and the risk of
alienating many of her political allies whose support she needs in the
next election.
According to Maung Zami, a Burma expert and
visiting fellow at the London School of Economics, "Aung San Suu Kyi has
absolutely nothing to gain by opening her mouth on this. She is no
longer a political dissident trying to stick to her principles. She's a
politician and her eyes are fixed on the prize, which is the 2015
majority Buddhist vote."
If this is indeed true, then the tragedy
of the 800,000 Rohingya people is even greater. The persecuted Rohingya
people are outcasts in a Buddhist society and there is a widespread
belief, in government and even among some pro-democracy groups, that
they are "illegal immigrants from Bangladesh." A 1982 law excluded them
from being recognized as an official minority and they have never been
granted citizenship. Described by the UN as one of the world's most
persecuted minorities, the recent upsurge in violence has led to a
humanitarian crisis as thousands of refugees are fleeing the security
forces and the local Buddhists and seeking refuge over the border in
Bangladesh.
The government of Bangladesh however, is refusing
these stateless refugees access to humanitarian aid. As reported by the
UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, there is
widespread famine in the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh. In spite
of reports from Human Rights Watch, United Nations and prominent aid
organizations, the Rohingya people continue to suffer terribly on both
sides of the border, in Arakan state in Burma and in the Cox's Bazaar
area in Bangladesh.
International response has been slow and the
perception in the Muslim world is that the West is turning a blind eye.
However, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is responding
with leadership from Turkey and the UN Special Rapporteur for Human
Rights in Burma is calling for an independent international
investigation into the crisis. Questions are being asked in the British
Parliament and in the US Congress, but no amount of paper and words can
bring immediate relief to the Rohingya people. Only action from within
Burma can stop the continuing human rights abuses and the ethnic
cleansing that is being carried out in the name of the Buddhist state.
Aung
San Suu Kyi has the moral authority to call on the generals to stop the
human tragedy taking place. The specious argument that these people are
not Burmese citizens calls to mind the bumper sticker familiar in the
US immigration debate, "No human being is illegal." Whether born in
Burma or not, whether they speak a Bangladeshi dialect or not, whether
they are Muslim or Christian or Buddhist, the Rohingya people deserve
the world's compassion and protection from oppression and persecution.
As
in the US where illegal immigration is an issue, the Burmese government
must acknowledge that even illegal immigrants have basic human rights.
If they are not welcomed and integrated they should be treated in a way
that respects human dignity, due process and the rule of law. Burma has
come a long way but if the Nobel Peace Prize is to continue to be
relevant today, then Aung San Suu Kyi should speak out for all people in
her country and work for a genuine peace process with all ethnic
minorities, so that Burma/Myanmar can truly become free.
There
remains something deeply flawed in the Buddhist nation, with its ancient
traditions of peace and non-aggression, if anti-Muslim rhetoric is
encouraged as a way of diverting attention from the generals' abuses of
power. Perhaps the Nobel Committee should look again at its criteria for
awarding the Peace Prize and reconsider its recent decisions. The prize
should be awarded for the attainment of peace and freedom, for the real
achievement of an end to sectarian violence, not just talking about it,
hoping for it and wishing it were true. That will not feed or shelter a
destitute and persecuted Rohingya family tonight. They need a champion
now, to speak up now on their behalf against all persecution no matter
who is the oppressor and who the oppressed.
Matthew Smith, a
researcher at New York-based Human Rights Watch, said it was difficult
for ordinary citizens to be objective because there was a widespread
belief that all Rohingya are "illegal immigrants from Bangladesh",
including at the highest levels of government.
"Young bloggers seeking the truth and attempting to approach the issue objectively should be applauded," he said.
"Sometimes
the protection of human rights depends on courageous voices willing to
stand up despite great social pressure, and this is one of those times."
