Myanmar: Note on New Draft Cyber Security Law
The Centre for Law and Democracy usually makes detailed recommendations based on each
specific critique it has made of a law or draft law. However, this Note only reviews the
amendments to the draft Law rather than all of the problems with it. That, and the very
fundamental problems with this draft Law, mean that our only recommendation at this time
is that the whole idea of the military regime introducing this law should be dropped. At such
point as a democratic government returns in Myanmar, proper consultations could be held
as to what form of cyber security law might be needed.
The Centre for Law and Democracy is a non-profit human rights organisation working
internationally to provide legal expertise on foundational rights for democracy.
