In the interest of advancing self-determination rights over their ancestral “territories of life”, culture and resources, Indigenous Karen communities of the Salween Peace Park (SPP) have successfully convened the 5th Session of its General Assembly as well as the 2nd election of the new leadership of SPP’s Governing Committee. Communities in the SPP have come together in the face of a country-wide political crisis and ongoing attacks by the military regime of the State Administration Council (SAC) of Burma to uphold the key pillars of the park: peace and self-determination, ecological integrity and cultural survival.
