Descriptions

Retired list; Member of the State Administration Council

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Additionally, the SAC adopted decisions restricting the rights to freedom of expression, including access to information, and peaceful assembly. The military forces and authorities operating under the control of the SAC have committed serious human rights violations since 1 Feb 2021, killing civilian and unarmed protestors, restricting freedom of assembly and of expression, including by restricting internet access, and through arbitrary arrests and detention of opposition leaders and opponents of the coup. As a former member of the SAC, General Maung Maung Kyaw was directly responsible for those repressive decisions and for serious human rights violations. Furthermore, in his former capacity as the head of the Myanmar Air Force, he was directly responsible for the bombings in Kayah State in Dec 2021, targeting the civilian population and causing a high number of casualties. Therefore, he is responsible for serious human rights violations.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

General Maung Maung Kyaw is a former member of the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw). He retired in Jan 2022. He was a member of the State Administration Council (SAC) until Feb2023. He previously served as Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Air Force between 2018 and Jan 2022. On 1 Feb 2021, the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw), led by Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing, staged a coup in Myanmar by setting aside the results of the elections held on 8 Nov 2020 and overthrowing the democratically elected government. As part of the coup, Vice-President Myint Swe, functioning as Acting President, declared a state of emergency on 1 Feb 2021 and transferred the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the state to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. On 2 Feb 2021, the SAC was established to exercise those powers, preventing the democratically elected government from fulfilling its mandate. As member of the SAC, General Maung Maung Kyaw has been directly involved in and responsible for decision-making concerning state functions and is therefore responsible for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Le général Maung Maung Kyaw est un ancien membre des forces armées du Myanmar/de la Birmanie (Tatmadaw). Il est à la retraite depuis janvier 2022. Il a aussi été membre du Conseil d'administration de l'État (SAC) jusqu'en février 2023. Il a précédemment exercé, entre 2018 et janvier 2022, les fonctions de commandant en chef de l'armée de l'air du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. Le 1er février 2021, les forces armées du Myanmar/de la Birmanie (Tatmadaw), dirigées par Min Aung Hlaing, leur commandant en chef, ont perpétré un coup d'État au Myanmar/en Birmanie en rejetant les résultats des élections tenues le 8 novembre 2020 et en renversant le gouvernement démocratiquement élu. Dans le cadre de ce coup d'État, le vice-président Myint Swe, agissant en qualité de président par intérim, a proclamé l'état d'urgence le 1er février 2021 et transféré les pouvoirs législatif, exécutif et judiciaire de l'État au commandant en chef des services de défense, le généralissime Min Aung Hlaing. Le 2 février 2021, le SAC a été institué pour exercer ces pouvoirs, empêchant le gouvernement démocratiquement élu d'accomplir son mandat. En sa qualité de membre du SAC, le général Maung Maung Kyaw a directement participé à la prise de décisions relatives aux fonctions de l'État et en porte la responsabilité et est donc responsable d'avoir porté atteinte à la démocratie et à l'État de droit au Myanmar/en Birmanie. En outre, le SAC a adopté des décisions limitant le droit à la liberté d'expression, y compris à l'accès à l'information, et le droit de se réunir pacifiquement. Les forces militaires et les autorités opérant sous le contrôle du SAC commettent de graves violations des droits de l'homme depuis le 1er février 2021, en tuant des civils et des manifestants non armés, en limitant la liberté de réunion et d'expression, y compris par des restrictions à l'accès à l'internet, des arrestations arbitraires et la détention de dirigeants de l'opposition et d'opposants au coup d'État. En sa qualité d'ex-membre du SAC, le général Maung Maung Kyaw était directement responsable de ces décisions répressives et de graves violations des droits de l'homme. En outre, en sa qualité d'ancien chef de l'armée de l'air du Myanmar/de la Birmanie, il était directement responsable des bombardements qui ont eu lieu dans l'État kayah en décembre 2021, ciblant la population civile et faisant un nombre élevé de victimes. Il est donc responsable de graves violations des droits de l'homme.
