Aiming to establish a free, fair, peaceful, and developed Federal Democratic Union, the Federal Law Academy was founded in Mai Ja Yang, Kachin State, in 2014. With academic support of some international legal academicians – alongside the contribution made by the Kachin Independent Organization (KIO) for administrative, residential and material requirements, and financial support from the Open Society Foundation in later periods – the Federal Law Academy has come into existence. The Academy is the only institution in the entire country that offers a variety of subjects covering ‘Federalism towards Human Rights’ by especially accentuating the right to self-determination of the ethnic nationalities and their states/provinces with the underpinning of the Rule of Law.
