Myanmar’s military has used imported weapons and jet fuel to carry out airstrikes and other attacks on civilians since the 2021 coup. This cause pushes for an international arms embargo, including a ban on aviation fuel, to reduce the military’s ability to keep attacking people. Winning looks like coordinated action that blocks arms and fuel transfers and tightens enforcement.

Pressure grows to cut off the junta’s weapons
Why this matters now
Myanmar’s military seized power in a 2021 coup and has used heavy weapons and air power against its own people. These are tools civilians do not have, so they can turn whole communities into targets.
Cutting off weapons and aviation fuel can limit the junta’s capacity to carry out airstrikes and large-scale attacks. It is a practical step that governments can take now to reduce harm while the wider political crisis continues.
What's blocking progress
A binding U.N. Security Council embargo has been blocked so far, especially by China and Russia. Even where restrictions exist, enforcement gaps and supply routes through third countries can keep weapons and jet fuel flowing.
