The Burma Lawyers' Council (BLC) is an independent group of lawyers and legal academics. Its aim is to foster human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Burma by such means as public education campaigns, provision of legal advice and research into the Burmese judicial system. The Council's website provides a selection of legal materials relating to Burma, including the country's Constitutions and its National Convention, reports and articles on the legal situation in Burma and a number of landmark agreements and declarations. An index of laws dating back to 1818 is provided, along with a list of Myanmar laws from 1988 onwards. Some of this material is in Burmese only. The BLC publishes two journals, both of which can be freely downloaded from the website; Legal Issues on Burma Journal is provided in English and the Journal of Constitutional Affairs is in Burmese.
