When the Nu-Atlee Agreement decolonized Burma (Myanmar), the option to refuse the nationality for the new state and chose another nationality had not been given to the minorities of Burma (Myanmar). Before the independence of Myanmar, all the peoples including the minorities were under the protection of the Article
73 of the UN Charter.
When the minorities of Burma (Myanmar) became stateless by decolonization, this is against the Òobject and purposesÓ of Article 73 of the UN Charter that can never be Òsacrificed.Ó
Decolonization is based on the principle, Òleaving no one
behindÓ for the right of the peoples to self-determination.
The UN and the international community as a whole under the erga omnes responsibility for the protection of the Nu-Atlee Agreement on the base that Òno derogation shall be allowed from the right of the peoples to self- determination.Ó
