[1][2] NUCC is a historic alliance of ethnic armed organizations and the Bamar majority, and is considered one of the most inclusive in modern Burmese history.

[3][4] 28 political institutions, including the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs), federal-unit and nationalities-based consultative councils formed the NUCC on 8 March 2021.

[1] NUCC published a two-part Federal Democratic Charter on 31 March 2021 as a precursor to replace the military-drafted 2008 Constitution of Myanmar, which was abolished by CRPH that same day.

[8] In response, the military junta issued a statement dubbing the law an interference in Myanmar's internal affairs, and encroachment of the country's sovereignty.

[9] NUCC representatives include the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), a legislative body representing deposed lawmakers elected by the 2020 Myanmar general election, eight ethnic armed organizations, including the Karen National Union (KNU), the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP), and the Chin National Front (CNF), and five ethnic-based consultative councils representing the Kachin, Chin, Karenni, Mon, and Palaung peoples.
