Myanmar conflict

As the country's conflict worsens, the global body has a rare chance to live up to the human rights principles that it adopted in 1948.

There is a growing consensus that the world should engage directly with the opposition National Unity Government.

Ohn Thwin, 72, has become the highest-ranking figure to be killed by anti-regime guerrillas since last year's coup.

The number of children killed in the air attack in Sagaing region appeared to be the highest since last February's coup.

The Southeast Asian bloc must make it clear that it will not accept the military junta's sham election.

In the midst of a nationwide struggle, many foreign governments are still acting as if the country can return to its previous "democratic" path.

The opposition movement enjoys popular legitimacy and has a viable plan for Myanmar's future. The world is running out of excuses for not recognizing it.

In a nationally televised speech, coup leader Min Aung Hlaing blamed "terrorists" for delaying the country's return to normalcy.

Last week's killing of four political prisoners has catalyzed an unusually strong regional reaction.

The killings demonstrate the regime’s contempt for regional and global opinion. Could they force ASEAN to change its approach to the country’s conflict?

The state-sanctioned killings have likely snuffed out any chance of the country's conflict being settled through peaceful negotiations.

The rights group said that it had “received credible information” that the Myanmar military has laid landmines in at least 20 villages in Kayah State.
