AI Summary
-
UN Security Council should immediately impose an arms embargo against Burma's military (Tatmadaw) to prevent continued acquisition of arms and hold the military accountable for human rights violations
-
Tatmadaw conducted a coup on February 1, 2021, detaining elected leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, nullifying November 2020 election results, and installing a military junta
-
U.S. has sanctioned Tatmadaw officials including Commander in Chief Min Aung Hlaing and designated two military-linked entities (MEHL and MEC)
-
Arms embargo should only be lifted after Tatmadaw implements permanent cease-fire, releases detained leaders, allows humanitarian access, restores internet/telecommunications, and transitions power to democratically elected civilian government
-
International community should continue supporting civilians and ethnic minorities (Rohingya, Karen, Rakhine, Kachin) adversely affected by the coup and promote peace and reconciliation
