Rule of Law and Independent Judiciary Sector Reform in Myanmar: The Way Forward
IPSJ, in partnership with the Burma Lawyers’ Council (BLC), organized a three-day advocacy
workshop that brought together legal professionals, researchers, civil society representatives, and
justice-sector actors. The workshop formally opened with a Book Launch Session, during which research works by Dr. Su Yin Htun and Dr. Nan Kham Mai were introduced. UUSC’s support was explicitly
acknowledged as the enabling contribution that made both the research and dissemination
possible.
