The current pro-military constitution lacks credibility because Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has spent 12 of the past 18 years under house arrest or in prison, and other democratic and ethnic minority leaders have not been allowed to participate in the drafting process. Additionally, the new constitution would effectively bar Suu Kyi, from running for president because she was married to a foreigner.
缅甸现行的支持军事领导的宪法缺乏可信性，因为昂山素季——诺贝尔和平奖获得者，在过去18年里有12年是处于软禁或监狱中，和其他民主和少数民族领导人没有被允许参与到该法的起草过程中。而且，因为素季和一个外国人结婚了，新宪法将有效的禁止她竞选总统。
