Since 2021, at least 7,700 civilians have been killed, more than 30,000 arrested, and 23,000 remain in detention. In Rakhine, ongoing violence, mass displacement, acute food insecurity, limited humanitarian assistance, and forced recruitment continue to prevail.
"Five years after the military coup, the conflict in #Myanmar shows no sign of ending," @UNHumanRights Assistant Secretary-General Ilze Brands Kehris told the @UN Human Rights Council.
"Human rights and justice are crucial to resolving this crisis," she said at #HRC61
@APR2P welcomes Dominique F. who will support strengthening academicโcivil society partnerships for atrocity prevention across Asia-Pacific region. Dominique brings valuable experience in atrocity prevention analysis and building communities of practice @GAAMAC_org and @GCR2P
Women in Myanmar are proving that democracy and equality are inseparable. In a society long dominated by patriarchal structures, they are creating a new vision for what Myanmar could become.
Inspiring stories of courage.
For Nang Moet Moet, General Secretary of the Womenโs League of Burma, the role of women in the resistance is undeniable. In "Heritage and Hope," she recalls the days after February 1, 2021, when thousands flooded the streets in defiance of the generals. โฆ https://t.co/THscVkWIea
ASEAN newest member (Oct 25) Timor Leste has initiated unprecedented legal proceedings against Myanmar's military junta under universal jurisdiction for war crimes and crimes against humanity following a criminal complaint filed by the @ChinHumanRights@MyanmarAProject
CHRO filed the complaint in East Timor because it was seeking an ASEAN member with an independent judiciary as well as a country that would be sympathetic to the suffering of Chin State's majority Christian population, the group's Executive Director said https://t.co/KZ2hUGAGse
In meetings, interviews and impromptu encounters, Elders had one clear message at #MSC2026: there can be no global security without respect for the rule of international law, & an end to impunity for all who commit war crimes and human rights violations, no matter how powerful.
The Philippines faces a considerable risk of atrocity crimes. The government must ensure accountability for human rights violations by state agents, address the root causes of armed conflict, uphold its peace commitments, and tackle corruption head-on.

Chinaโs policy of trying to stamp out scam centers on the border, while backing the juntaโwhich profits from cybercrimeโis irrational, argues ALTSEAN-Burma founder Debbie Stothard.
Five years after a military coup, the people of Myanmar need to know that they are not alone in their fight for justice, democracy and human rights. The best way to show it is with ACTION.

๐ฝ๏ธWATCH: APHR Member and Member of Parliament in the Philippines Leila de Lima urges the ASEAN to take bolder actions to urgently address the human rights and humanitarian crises in Myanmar.
โ"The Secretary-General continues to stand in solidarity with the people of #Myanmar & their democratic aspirations for an inclusive, peaceful & just society and reiterates the need to ensure the protection of all communities, including the #Rohingya."https://t.co/CTb5O0sjX3
๐ฒ๐ฒ #Myanmar: Today marks five years since Myanmarโs military seized power in February 2021. The rule of law has ceased to function, and courts now operate as extensions of military authority to suppress dissent.
After half a decade under a military regime, judicial independence has collapsed, fair trial rights are routinely denied, and lawyers are criminalized for providing legal representation.
The International Commission of Jurists (@ICJ_org) calls for the immediate restoration of civilian and constitutional rule grounded in the rule of law, and urges all States to deny any form of military support that enables ongoing serious human rights abuses and entrenched cycles of impunity.

For #Rohingya survivors, the road to the @CIJ_ICJ has meant years of sufferings, courage and hope. After surviving the 2017 #genocidal โclearance operationsโ in #Mynamar they have kept the case alive by providing evidence, with the support of LAW.
Follow their journey as they finally testify, in person, before the World Court.
