The violence and brutality of Myanmar’s military junta regime is escalating dramatically. According to the latest report by the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM), international atrocity crimes are continuing unabated, with no end in sight. Meanwhile, ASEAN’s legal channels to justice and accountability for the people of Myanmar remain log-jammed by a lack of political will – despite ASEAN’s mandate to uphold universally recognized human rights. The petitioners are urging ASEAN to take concrete steps to end impunity and to hold the Myanmar junta accountable for the human rights abuses taking place on an hourly basis across the country.
