The constitution of Myanmar, its third since independence, was drafted by its military rulers and published in September 2008. It was governed by military junta and still plays a high role with full of coercion and no democracy. Many pro-democracy activists, civil societies, and opposition elements have been suppressed, detained, and jailed without fair judiciary process, which includes monks as well, and some of them were killed. Now the country is governed as a presidential republic with a bicameral legislature, with a portion of legislators appointed by the military and others elected in general elections. The current head of state, inaugurated as President on 30 March 2011, is Thein Sein. Though the country's foreign relations, particularly with Western nations have been strained, but the relations have thawed since the reforms following the 2010 elections. After years of diplomatic isolation and economic and military sanctions, and the US relaxed curbs on foreign aid to Myanmar in November 2011 and announced the resumption of diplomatic relations on 13 January 2012. It is criticised and pressed by Western countries, as well as UN, but relatively close with India, China, and Russia. Myanmar is an extremely corrupt state which is ranked 180 of 183 countries with 1.5 rating out of 10, where 0 being the most corrupt and 10 is least corrupt. The Myanmar military junta has been using anti-subversive and internal security constitution to destruct the democratisation process. And in 2008 constitution referendum promised to hold elections in 2010 and perform democracy in the future. The EU has placed sanctions on Myanmar, including an arms embargo, cessation of trade preferences, and suspension of all aid with the exception of humanitarian aid. US and European government sanctions against the former military government, coupled with boycotts and other direct pressure on corporations by supporters of the democracy movement, have resulted in the withdrawal from the country of most US and many European companies.
