The Union Parliament (Burmese: ပြည်ထောင်စုပါလီမန်)[1] or simply Parliament (ပါလီမန်)[a] was the bicameral legislature of the Union of Burma from 1952[3][b][1] to 1962, when it was disbanded by the Revolutionary Council of the Union of Burma. It consisted of an upper house, the Chamber of Nationalities and a lower house, the Chamber of Deputies. Before the first Union Parliament was elected and assembled according to the constitution, the Constituent Assembly of Burma served as the Provisional Parliament.[4]
From 1957 to 1963, the Union Parliament was a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).[5]
Notes
[edit]- ↑ The original 1947 Constitution called it "ပြည်ထောင်စုပါလီမန်" in Burmese and "Union Parliament" in English, but the president of the Constituent Assembly removed the words "ပြည်ထောင်စု" and "Union" using the amending power given to him.[2]
