	State Law and Order Restoration Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SLORC, or the State Law and Order Restoration Council was the name of the military government of Myanmar between September 1988 and November 1997.
		SLORC was formed when the armed forces, commanded by General Saw Maung, seized power in September 1988, replacing the constitutional government and installing General Saw Maung as the chairman and Prime Minister.
		In November 1997 SLORC was replaced by the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC); however, this was essentially just a renaming as the leadership did not change.

		And critics say that the SLORC is using its greatly expanded foreign currency reserves to modernize and expand its army rather than to benefit the people.
		When the SLORC took control of Burma, the country was estimated to have had 80 percent of the world's remaining teak forests.
		Green November 32 claims that "SLORC officials have arranged the granting of timber concessions to favorites in areas of virgin forest newly opened up by the oil companies." Constructing roads also allows the military to move soldiers, heavy artillery and supplies into opened areas, thus securing their hold over the indigenous populations.

	Report to Congress on Burma, 1993
		SLORC clearly does not want to be put in the league to which it belongs -- that of the former Yugoslavia.
		The SLORC regime also heavily resists any mention of the Geneva Conventions in the various resolutions that the United Nations bodies have tabled, and apparently has tried to severely limit the role of international humanitarian ad to the victims of armed conflict.
		The SLORC forces are among the worst offenders of humanitarian law norms in recent times -- literally all of the most egregious war crimes are everyday occurrences in the course of the SLORC war.

	Project DIANA : Doe v. Unocal Corp: Order of March 25, 1997, Re: Motion to Dismiss
		SLORC soldiers forced farmers to relocate their villages, confiscated property and forced inhabitants to clear forest, level the pipeline route, build headquarters for pipeline employees, prepare military outposts and carry supplies and equipment.
		Plaintiffs claim that defendants, through the SLORC military, intelligence and/or police forces, have used and continue to use violence and intimidation to relocate whole villages, enslave farmers living in the area of the proposed pipeline, and steal farmers' property for the benefit of the pipeline.
		Here, plaintiffs allege that SLORC and MOGE are agents of the private defendants; that the defendants are joint venturers, working in concert with one another; and that the defendants have conspired to commit the violations of international law alleged in the complaint in order to further the interests of the Yadana gas pipeline project.

		SLORC troops invade peaceful villages demanding men, women and children to work for at least two week shifts.
		SLORC rapaciously exploits natural resources and sells them to foreign interests, which keeps the regime propped up and further impoverishes the ethnic nationalities.

		By October, despite the arrival of SLORC intermediaries in Thailand, there was no sign of any new settlement, and the KNPP claimed that the SLORC was preparing for a major offensive against it and had brought in a further 6,000 troops.
		However, the SLORC did not agree to the right of the Mon to receive developmental assistance from international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Thailand, nor were there clear decisions made on rights to the natural resources of the area, especially logging and fishing rights.
		This was a move intended to deprive the SLORC of their main justification for not talking to her: she was not just an ordinary individual, but re-instated as a party representative.

	Refugees from the SLORC Occupation
		SLORC brought some along with them on the offensive, but there are not enough of them to merit much notice and most villagers have seen no sign of them.
		SLORC probably intends to use them to attack the new refugee camp at Noh Po in Thailand, where over 10,000 of the new Dooplaya refugees are staying.
		SLORC cannot continue to support the mass number of troops it has sent into the area for the offensive, so many of these are already being rotated out and replaced with lower numbers of new troops.

	Vol.5 No.1 January - Slorc's Big Brother (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Slorc is trying to show the international community that it is also a responsible govenrment which is going to bring order and prosperity in Burma.
		Despite scepticism over whether the Slorc intends to hand over power to the National League for Democracy of Suu Kyi, it is believed that the Indonesian constitution provides room for the military to be involved in politics.
		The Slorc is believed "more than eager" to join Asean in a bid to get a measure of regional support while it faces international condemnation from Western countries like the United States, and European countries that have sometimes imposed official bans to discourage investment in Burma.

	THE HUNTING OF THE SLORC
		SLORC is therefore a completely illegal regime since by its own admission, the "law and order", disturbed by the 1988 democracy movement, have been restored.
		SLORC has therefore avoided a peace settlement with the ethnic opposition as a whole up to this time, though it has approached most of the groups individually, and made deals with some of them.
		One scenario is that SLORC might succeed in concluding a "political" settlement of the civil war, imposing a constitution, and persuading its neighbors and the international community that the process has been legal and political enough.

		Slorc troops continue to repair the old road that was used by Japanese troops in WWII.
		SLORC confiscated villagers's boats from Paw Klo (Ban Chaung) areas and sent supplies to Htee Hpo Lay and Kwee Waw Wa where they are currently camped on the banks of the Tenasserim river.
		According to Pamungkas, the Slorc generals had adopted the Indonesian doctrine of ''Dwifungsi Abri" which literally means the ''Armed Forces' Dual Function" and principally justifies the involvement of active officers in politics.

		Now, Slorc’s leaders are on their own to prove their worthiness, if they have any.
		However, Slorc’s conciliatory move could be taken as a self-serving exercise aimed at weakening the NLD’s leadership.

		Recent indications are that the Karen continue their opposition to an agreement, adhering to the principled argument that a truce with SLORC must include a nationwide ceasefire and that talks must be held on neutral territory.
		The SLORCÕs strategy of unilateral, as opposed to united DAB, talks is widely familiar and is troubling for the ethnic and Burman democratic opposition forces.
		Another of the SLORCÕs recent moves to sanction its rule has been the formation of the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA), a banner under which thousands of Burmese are being coerced to attend mass rallies of alleged support for peace talks and the ongoing 'national convention'.

		SLORC (the State Law and Order Restoration Council) held an election in 1990 only to find out who its opposition was.
		SLORC then, in their ever so democratic fashion, preceded to raid the NLD's headquarters and since then 111 of those elected in the '90 election have been either disqualified, imprisoned, exiled or killed.
		It is so easy to hate SLORC but when you look into the eyes of many of these teen warriors you realize they are more likely to shoot you out of fear than out of anger.

		The SLORC has also declared entire border regions off limits to the villagers whose families have lived there for centuries, issuing orders that any man, woman, or child seen in these regions is to be shot on sight as a 'rebel'.
		The nature of the SLORC junta is not irrelevant to UN Aid; rather, it should be the central issue in the entire discussion.
		The SLORC's Working People's Daily has even published photos of hundreds of slaves working on this railway, captioned that these poor subsistence farmers are 'enthusiastically contributing their labour' for several months of the year.
