Abstract [en]

Myanmar serves as an intriguing case study since it reflects the impact of history on contemporary legislation and perspectives regarding citizenship and child protection. This study aims to analyse how Burmese viewpoints are presented on the international stage regarding child soldiering and the protection of stateless individuals. A notable research gap addressed in this paper is the application of Moore’s signaling theory which has not been yet used on Myanmar’s case. This paper will employ Moore’s theoretical framework to study laws, verbatim records, statements and press releases. The methodology utilized in this thesis is content analysis. This thesis’s finding indicates that the Burmese officials have changed their argumentation and standpoint concerning child soldiering and statelessness on the international stage. From a previous reluctance to acknowledge these existing issues, Myanmar’s representatives have recently signaled more involvement in promoting better human rights protection at the national level.
