The Interim Chin National Consultative Council (ICNCC) has announced that it will convene a convention to ratify the draft Chin Charter that has already been prepared. This announcement was made in a statement commemorating the fourth anniversary of the ICNCC’s founding.
The statement noted that the ICNCC has been restructured with seven working committees, and the draft Chin Charter has been successfully completed. It emphasized that plans are in place to convene a convention in the near future to formally ratify the charter.
It also highlighted the achievements of the Chin Brotherhood (CB) in resisting the military junta, which unlawfully seized power by force of arms. The Brotherhood successfully led operations to liberate key towns—such as Kyondo, Matupi, Mintat, Kanpetlet, and Falam—demonstrating the strength and determination of the Chin people. The ICNCC further noted that over the past four years, these collective efforts have succeeded in preventing the emergence of an authoritarian regime in Chinland.
