Descriptions

Wunna Maung Lwin is a member of the State Administrative Council (SAC) since 20 February 2023. He is also a member of military-proxy party Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP). On 1 February 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 November 2020 and by 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 February 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 February 2021, the SAC was established to exercise those powers, preventing the democratically elected government from fulfilling its mandate. As member of the SAC, Wunna Maung Lwin 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. 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 February 2021, killing civilians 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. Further, the SAC has imposed martial law in parts of the country allowing the military complete authority over the specified area, including administrative, judicial and law enforcement functions. In the areas under martial law, civilians, including journalists and peaceful protesters, are prosecuted by military courts, effectively depriving them of the right to due process, including the right to appeal. Violent actions by military and police forces threatening peace, security and stability has increased significantly in areas where martial law has been declared. Due to his position as member of the SAC and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the junta, Wunna Maung Lwin is directly responsible for repressive decisions and for serious human rights violations as well as actions aimed at legitimizing them internationally.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Wunna Maung Lwin est membre du Conseil d'administration de l'État (SAC) depuis le 20 février 2023. Il est également membre du Parti de la solidarité et du développement de l'Union (PSDU), soutenu par l'armée. 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, Wunna Maung Lwin 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. Par ailleurs, le SAC a imposé la loi martiale dans certaines parties du pays, conférant à l'armée la pleine autorité sur la zone concernée, y compris en ce qui concerne l'exercice de fonctions administratives, judiciaires et répressives. Dans les zones soumises à la loi martiale, des civils, y compris des journalistes et des manifestants pacifiques, font l'objet de poursuites menées par des juridictions militaires, ce qui les prive effectivement du droit à un procès équitable, notamment du droit de recours. Les actions violentes menées par des forces militaires et de police qui menacent la paix, la sécurité et la stabilité se sont sensiblement accrues dans les zones où la loi martiale a été décrétée. En sa qualité de membre du SAC et d'ancien ministre des affaires étrangères de la junte, Wunna Maung Lwin est directement responsable de décisions répressives et de graves violations des droits de l'homme, ainsi que d'actions visant à les légitimer au niveau international.
