Despite recent setbacks, the ICTJ continues to consult with pro-democracy groups, including the exiled National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma (NCGUB) and the National Council of the Union of Burma (NCUB), to examine ways in which transitional justice strategies might be effective in the long term. The Center also has been developing a comparative analysis of transitional justice options—examining cases such as Chile and South Africa—to discuss with key actors both inside and outside Burma, and is continuing to consult with United Nations officials.
As part of its "Transitional Justice in Asia Series," a collaboration with the Asia Society in New York, the ICTJ co-organized a symposium on Burma, examining the initiatives undertaken and lessons learned in the transitional process.
The Center has twice taught workshops on transitional justice for human rights activists at the Thai/Burma border as part of the "Training the Trainers" program of the nongovernmental Burma Lawyers' Council.
