Myanmar military accused of war crimes, genocide in German suit
Al JazeeraJUL 2023
This report makes clear something that was already well-known — foreign powers are assisting Myanmar's military as it slaughters innocent civilians and erodes the country's democratic institutions. Foreign companies must stop sending materials to Myanmar, and world governments must do more to prevent private enterprises from colluding with a regime guilty of mass murder.
Though the intentions of those calling for greater sanctions against Myanmar are well meaning, imposing more restrictions would do nothing to benefit the people of Myanmar. The economy is already facing a dire situation and additional sanctions would shrink foreign investments, job opportunities, and trade, affecting the poorest in society most severely.
