Foreign firms face scrutiny as UN looks to isolate generals – VOA

May 16, 2019 Campaign News

The UN’s fact-finding mission to Burma is calling for the military to be totally isolated, reports the Voice of America, because the leadership has done little to address widespread rights abuses around the country. The fact-finding mission is now seeking more information on the military’s business ventures in the hopes of helping countries to hit the generals in their pockets.

VOA cites Burma Campaign UK’s “dirty list” of 49 foreign companies doing business with the military or implicated in rights abuses in Burma.
