Foreword
I would like to express gratitude to the Union and the officials concerned for permitting Phlone-Sqaw Democracy Party to present its polity and work programs for the 2020 general election of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

Introduction
Nationalities lost liberty, equality, and peace because of the intrusion, administration and influence of various systems including feudalism, colonialism, fascism and socialism all along with the history. People sacrificed a lot of life and blood for anti-colonialism drive, national liberation drive and peace and prosperity, and restored the nation’s dignity as an independent and sovereign state in the world on 4 January 1948.
Loss of liberty
If the world is free from partiality, persecution, intimation, discrimination, aggression and exploitation, there will be no conflicts such as hostilities and battles between one side and another, one group and another, one community and another and one country and another, and because of the conflicts, people are losing all their human rights.
Declaration
We will respect human rights, and will never disregard them. The party will observe and value the codes of conducts of humanity with respect. We will discard cruelty and will seek answers through peaceful means. We promise freedom of expression and freedom of profession, occupation, trade and business. People should be free form anxiety, fear, and insufficiency. We will strive for the restoration of eternal peace, and the emergence of a democratic federal Union aspired by the nationalities with the noble wish.
