    Future Constitution of Kawthoolei

    (Karen State)

    PREAMBLE

    The earliest settlers of the Irrawaddy Delta, the Sittang Valley,southern Salween Valley, Tanessarim region and in theadjoining hill areas of those regions, we, the Karen people,had lived in freedom and in peace, before the advent of feudalism. Only about an eight of the total population of Karen people now live in the State of Kawthoolei and therest continue to live numerously, outside of Kawthoolei inthe above mentioned regions, not included in the State of Kawthoolei.

    In the successive eras of feudalism, we the Karenpeople had been ruthlessly exploited and systematically prevented from advancement in all the fields of humanactivities. When the system of oppression and subjection

    was removed, we made rapid advances in the areas of economic affairs, education, health, sports, politics andculture, through industriousness and self-reliance, in a matterof 60 years. However, after independence from the British,the political immaturity, intolerance and above all racialchauvinism, or ultra-nationalism of those in power had ledthe country to civil war and the Dark Age of oppression,subjugation and exploitation, again, for more than half acentury. In this Dark Age, the Karen people had to faceimmense sufferings, unlike at any time in the history, andthe country as a whole, suffered a disastrous setback.

    Accordingly, we, the Karen people in the KawthooleiState, will cooperate with the Karen people in other Statesand all peace-loving nationalities to prevent the return of

    the Dark Age and always work for harmony, stability andprosperity.

    As a nationality, we, the Karen people of Kawthoolei,have had to struggle resolutely for freedom, justice, equality and self-determination. In the spirit of fraternity, liberty and equality we have joined together with the othernationalities of the land, to be part of the Federal Unionof --------- and, reserving the right to freely work foreconomic, educational, health, cultural and politicaladvancement of the Karen people, within the framework

    of the federation, we will live in peace, together with allthe other nationalities of the federation, on the basis of mutual friendship, respect, recognition, and cooperation.
