Arms embargo on Myanmar's military
Research

Empower the Opposition & Document Crimes

Simultaneously, support Myanmar’s National Unity Government (NUG) and ethnic resistance as legitimate representatives.

Strengthen the case for an embargo by documenting how imported weapons and aviation fuel enable attacks on civilians and by elevating credible democratic representatives. Produce evidence that links specific weapons and suppliers to abuses, and use that record to pressure governments that are wavering. This research-heavy path feeds the diplomatic and coalition strategies with proof and moral clarity.

Why this works

Maintains moral clarity – it’s not a civil war “both sides” situation, but a junta attacking its people. Showing evidence that specific weapons from specific countries were used in war crimes (like fragments of a Russian bomb at a massacre site) can shame those countries domestically.
