A new report by Amnesty International, Global Witness, and Burma Campaign UK into the continued sale of aviation fuel to Myanmar’s military has exposed more firms involved in the country’s supply chain, reports Aviation International News. This includes insurance, shipping, and financial services firms, exemplifying claims that a vast web of foreign and multinational companies are enabling war crimes in Burma.
The organization’s statements follow Amnesty’s 2022 investigation report that asserts civil aviation fuel was diverted for military use.
In light of last week’s report, Amnesty International, Global Witness, and Burma Campaign UK are reiterating calls to suspend the supply of aviation fuel until additional safeguards are implemented.
