The move followed on the heels of ASEAN's decision to uninvite regime chief Min Aung Hlaing from its upcoming summit.

The claim comes amid an intensifying armed struggle against the military junta that seized power in February.

The move follows the military government's repeated stalling and lack of cooperation on the implementation of a regional peace plan.

ASEAN's patience with the junta is wearing thin. But can it muster the consensus necessary to take a harder line?

While the NUG's casualty figures are hard to verify, there is substantial evidence that civilian militias are striking increasing blows against the Tatmadaw.

Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah once again condemned the junta's lack of cooperation on the implementation of an ASEAN consensus agreement.

The military's persecution of the NLD leader could reinforce her symbolic power.

Eight months on from the military's seizure of power, the number of people in need of U.N. support has tripled.

As Martin Luther King, Jr. once wrote, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

The National Unity Government's declaration of a "people's defensive war" has raised a host of political and ethical questions.
