CRITICAL RESPONSE EVENT: MYANMAR
Zoom Webinar Join the Cohen Institute for our first Critical Response Event of the academic year. This lunchtime webinar will feature Kyaw Win, Executive Director of the Burma Human Rights Network, who will discuss the current situation in Myanmar.
Mr. Win will discuss some of the history of this "nationwide" civil war as well as newly implemented laws that tighten control over civic spaces, grant authorities broad powers to monitor, censor, and criminalize online activity, and impose severe criminal penalties -- including the death penalty -- for criticism or peaceful opposition to the military junta's planned elections.
The discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Ashley Greene, Cohen Institute Specialist. Critical Response Events are meant to promote dialogue about emerging or ongoing crises across the globe. Guest speakers do not represent the Institute or College.
DATE & TIME : Tuesday, 23 September 2025: UK 12:00 pm

SEEKING JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE ROHINGYA
On 24 August 2023, the Burma Human Rights Network (BHRN) will host a panel discussion with members of the Rohingya community, civil society leaders, legal experts, and the National Unity Government (NUG). The meeting will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss:SEEKING JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE ROHINGYA
- The human rights situation of the Rohingya in Bangladesh and post-coup Myanmar.
- Updates on the Gambia v. Myanmar genocide case brought before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and other ongoing international justice mechanisms.
- Updates from the NUG on the appointment of a Rohingya representative and their plans to address the human rights of the Rohingya.
- Effective measures to end all forms of human rights violations and abuses against Rohingya Muslims as well as other minorities in Myanmar.
August 25th 2023 will mark six years since the Myanmar military led a campaign of killings, mass rape and arson against the Rohingya in northern Rakhine State, killing thousands and forcing over 730,000 to flee to Bangladesh. In the six years since the military’s atrocities, the situation for Rohingya in Myanmar and abroad offers a dismal reflection of justice delayed.
Nearly 600,000 Rohingya remain trapped in Rakhine State under a system of discriminatory laws and policies that amount to crimes against humanity and genocide. Since the attempted military coup on 1 February 2021, Rohingya have been subjected to tightened restrictions on their fundamental freedoms.
Rohingya who have fled Myanmar and managed to reach Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, or India live under the constant threat of arrest, detention, and forced return to military-controlled Myanmar. In Bangladesh, one million Rohingya refugees who were forcibly displaced by the Myanmar military, remain in sprawling refugee camps in southern Bangladesh Cox's Bazar District where government is restricting their rights including education and freedom of movement.
The coup has made clear that the ongoing atrocities in Myanmar are a direct consequence of a military that for decades has faced no consequences for its crimes. Despite the longstanding evidence of widespread and systematic human rights violations, impunity remains nearly absolute. However, efforts are ongoing at the international level to ensure legal accountability are ongoing at the International Court of Justice (brought by the Gambia against Myanmar) and the International Criminal Court. Steps to this end have also been taken at the national level, including in Argentina, Indonesia, Turkey, and a pending case filed in Germany.

BRAZEN TYRANNY of MYANMAR MILATARY
February 1 marks the first anniversary of the Burmese military’s coup against the country’s democratically elected government. Since then, the military has unleashed horrors on a civilian population unwilling to accept their illegitimate rule. Restrictions and crackdowns spread as the population peacefully resisted the regime, leading the people of Myanmar to form self-defense forces known as PDFs. A full-blown civil war is on the horizon."BRAZEN TYRANNY of MYANMAR MILITARY
