Europe imposes sanctions in relation to the particular 2021 coup d’état in Myanmar

These latest measures are usually complementary to broader ASEAN efforts and its Five-Point Consensus on Myanmar. These sanctions are in line with Canada’s commitments under its Indo-Pacific Strategy, including promoting peace, resilience and security, plus upholding democracy and human rights. Within two years, the regime has totally reversed a decade of democratic progress, plunging the country into political, economic and humanitarian education crises, killing thousands of men, women, and children, detaining many thousands more, and driving the displacement of more than one million. The worsening crises in Myanmar still undermine peace, prosperity, and stability for the country’s nearby neighbours and the broader region. The particular sanctions announced today, within coordination with our international companions, including the United Kingdom and the Usa, respond to the ongoing repression of the people of Myanmar by the military. Canada’s measures are in direct response to deteriorating armed conflict, in particular the increased use of aerial episodes against civilians, in contravention of international humanitarian regulation. They also respond to deeply regarding reports of serious infractions of international human rights law by the military program.
