The KNU/KNLA Peace Council (KPC) is an armed opposition group in Myanmar (Burma). It was founded on 31 January 2007 by Major General Saw Htein Maung, the then-commander of the 7th Brigade of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA). Despite its name, it is neither part of nor affiliated with its former parent organisation, the Karen National Union (KNU), nor the KNLA. The group is a signatory of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement, which was finalised in 2015.
