In collaboration with "Justice Week" GW STAND invites you to join us Monday, February 4 in Elliot rm 113 to learn about the prospectives for justice in a country that has been seiged with conflict for decades. In a country, where every ethnic group has their own military what are the prospects for justice and equality? With the latest development of the freeing of democratically elected leader, "The Lady" Aung San Suu Kyi and the U.S. economic "opening" up of Burma is a brighter future right around the corner or does Burma still have a long way to go? Join us to find out at "Burma: Where are we now?
