According to DVB, Aung San Suu Kyi's Rule of Law Committee has been flooded with over 3,000 complaints during the past 5 months about land grabs and administrative decisions. Committee secretary Win Myint told reporters that the committee had already forwarded 2,000 cases to relevant ministries.
It would be fascinating to see whether complainants ever receive a response or remedy to their complaints. That will be the real test.
Critics agree that much of Southeast Asia desperately needs judicial reform and rule of law. Yet, there is remarkably little comparative scholarship on law and legal institutions in the region. In this blog, I'll follow constitutional developments in Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
