Function: Union Minister of Labour

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Pwint San is therefore a natural person whose actions, policies and activities undermine democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma and who is engaged in actions that threaten the peace, security and stability of Myanmar/Burma.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

As a government Minister, he forms part of the military regime which has seized power in a military coup and overthrown the legitimately elected leaders of Myanmar/Burma. Under his authority, workers’ rights, especially the rights of workers affiliated with the opposition movement, are being systematically violated. As Minister of Commerce, Pwint San facilitated the importation of goods necessary to sustain the regime’s power (e.g. fuel oil importation). Furthermore, through his national activities and international contacts, he contributes to further stabilising the illegitimate power of the military regime. At the same time, the ministry under his authority aggravates supply disruptions within the country by imposing import controls and restricting the transfer of remittances.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Pwint San est ministre du travail de l’Union depuis le 19 août 2022. Il a été nommé par le Conseil d’administration de l’État (SAC), dirigé par le commandant en chef Min Aung Hlaing, qui s’est emparé des pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire de l’État à partir du 2 février 2021. Sa fonction de ministre du travail de l’Union a de nouveau été confirmée le 1er février 2023. Il a été précédemment nommé ministre du commerce de l’Union pour la période allant du 3 février 2021 au 19 août 2022. En sa qualité de ministre du gouvernement, il fait partie du régime militaire qui a pris le pouvoir dans le cadre d’un coup d’État militaire et renversé les dirigeants légitimement élus du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. Sous son autorité, les droits des travailleurs, en particulier ceux des travailleurs affiliés au mouvement d’opposition, sont systématiquement violés. En tant que ministre du commerce, Pwint San a facilité l’importation de marchandises nécessaires au maintien du pouvoir du régime (par exemple, l’importation de mazout). En outre, par ses activités nationales et ses contacts internationaux, il contribue à stabiliser davantage le pouvoir illégitime du régime militaire. Dans le même temps, le ministère placé sous son autorité aggrave les ruptures d’approvisionnement à l’intérieur du pays en imposant des contrôles à l’importation et en limitant le transfert d’envois de fonds. Par conséquent, Pwint San est une personne physique dont les actions, politiques et activités portent atteinte à la démocratie et à l’État de droit au Myanmar/en Birmanie et qui mène des actions qui menacent la paix, la sécurité et la stabilité au Myanmar/en Birmanie.
