May 2004 Myanmar: Gem Paradise, Human Rights Hell A country located in Southeast Asia, roughly the size of Texas and home to approximately 47 million people, Myanmar has long been the focus of human rights groups for the egregious human rights abuses that are committed on its people by the military junta that rules the country. Myanmar, the country many still call Burma, supplies the world with 95% of its fine rubies and even more of its jadeite jade, and sets the standard by which other sources' gems are compared. Myanmar's economy is dependant on its gems, which also include sapphire, peridot and spinel; they are the country's fifth-largest export, at $30 million per year. However, this part of Myanmar's economy and others are under fire as a result of a 2003 U.S. law that bans products originating in Myanmar. U.S. lawmakers hope to put pressure on the ruling military regime to allow democratic elections, cease the human rights abuses against its own people and free democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi. But the U.S. law has yet to have a strong effect on the gem trade, due to existing supplies of Burmese gems that were already in the pipeline before the law took effect. Also, most gems from Myanmar pass through other processing and cutting centers, such as those in Thailand, so U.S. Customs may not be stopping some gems that actually originate from Myanmar.
