About the company
Frontier Services Group (FSG)
Frontier Services Group (FSG) is a Hong Kong listed private security company set up by Erik Prince, founder of the controversial Blackwater security company. FSG was established with support of Chinese state companies to provide security for Chinese investments overseas.
A large number of Chinese investments in Burma are controversial, linked to human rights violations, conflict, environmental destruction and funding the Burmese military. FSG will be providing security to companies linked to human rights violations. In 2021 and 2022 Burma Campaign UK received anecdotal reports of increased FSG presence following the attempted military coup in 2021.

The Dirty List
The Dirty List names international companies doing business with the military in Burma. The list also includes international companies involved in projects where there are human rights violations or environmental destruction.
In September 2018, the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on Myanmar, which has been investigating human rights violations in the country, stated:
“The actions of the Tatmadaw (Burmese military) in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan States, in particular in the context of the ‘clearance operations’ in northern Rakhine State in 2016 and 2017, have so seriously violated international law that any engagement in any form with the Tatmadaw, its current leadership, and its businesses, is indefensible.”
