Myanmar Military Accused of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity in Coup Aftermath

Myanmar Military Accused of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity in Coup Aftermath

The Myanmar military has been accused of killing civilians, destroying homes and food supplies, and obstructing humanitarian aid since their February 2021 coup.
The military has used heavy weaponry on civilian areas, burned villages and crops, and targeted medical workers and facilities.

The military has also imposed restrictions on humanitarian assistance after the deadly Cyclone Mocha in May.

Refusal of humanitarian assistance may amount to international crimes, such as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The security situation for humanitarian workers has dramatically worsened since the coup, with aid providers facing risks of arrest, harassment, or mistreatment.
