It is the policy of the United States to--
(1) continue to support the people of Burma in their struggle for democracy, human rights, and justice;
(2) support the efforts of the National Unity Government (NUG), the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC), the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), the Burmese Civil Disobedience Movement, and other entities in Burma and in other countries to oppose the Burmese military and bring about an end to the military junta's rule;
(3) support a credible process for the restoration of civilian government in Burma, with a reformed Burmese military under civilian control and the enactment of constitutional, political, and economic reform that protects the rights of minority groups and furthers a federalist form of government;
(4) hold accountable perpetrators of human rights violations committed against ethnic groups in Burma and the people of Burma, including through the February 2022 coup d'etat;
(5) hold accountable the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China for their support of the Burmese military;
(6) continue to provide humanitarian assistance to populations impacted by violence perpetrated by the Burmese military wherever they may reside, and coordinate efforts among like-minded governments and other international donors to maximize the effectiveness of assistance and support for the people of Burma;
(7) secure the unconditional release of all unlawfully detained individuals in Burma, including those detained for the exercise of their fundamental freedoms; and
(8) provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Burma in Burma, Bangladesh, Thailand, and the surrounding region without going through the Burmese military.
