Burmas census must be postponed. The Burmese government has refused to properly categorize ethnic groups, ignored civil society recommendations, and is only providing the census forms in the Burmese language. Only the Burmanized versions of ethnic names are used (e.g. Kayin instead of Karen). The census, with assistance from the UN Population Fund, violates the UNs own standards on allowing ethnic groups to self-identify. Furthermore, ethnic groups are warning that the military may use census data to carry out human rights abuses in ethnic areas. bit.ly/1dadDGZ
