ASEAN aiding and abetting the Myanmar junta’s atrocities through counter terrorism military training in Russia
JUSTICE FOR MYANMAR
Dear all,
ASEAN has provided military training to the illegal Myanmar junta in the name of “counter terrorism”, deepening the bloc’s complicity in the junta’s atrocities.
The ASEAN training exercise involved tactics that the junta can deploy in its campaign of terror against the people, using weapons that are in the junta’s arsenal.
Read our new feature on ASEAN's latest counter terrorism military training for the junta online here.
Read our previous feature on ASEAN's history of complicity with the Myanmar military through the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting (ADMM) here.
JFM calls on ASEAN to immediately bar the junta from ADMM at all levels, including removing navy head Moe Aung from the leadership of the ASEAN Navy Chiefs’ Meeting. Failing that, ASEAN members and dialogue partners should refuse to attend all platforms and activities in which the junta participates.
The UN Security Council and foreign governments must urgently step up and impose targeted sanctions and an arms embargo to block the junta’s access to funds, arms, equipment and jet fuel, and refer the situation in Myanmar to the International Criminal Court.
Regards,
Justice For Myanmar
