• offering any assistance possible to the people of Myanmar in supporting the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM).

• lobbying the international community and in particular the United Nations (UN) to denounce the military junta in Myanmar and convince the UN to provide a United Nations peacekeeping force in Myanmar under the banner of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P).
