About the company
Honeywell
Honeywell is an American conglomerate. Its aerospace division has a longstanding business relationship with Indian aerospace company Hindustan Aeronautic Ltd (HAL), including a contract with them that enables HAL to manufacture Honeywell engines.
HAL is manufacturing a new training aircraft, the Hindustan Turbo Trainer-40 (HTT-40). The HTT-40 is powered by a Honeywell Garett TPE331-12B single-shaft turboprop engine.
HAL plans to sell a weaponised version of the aircraft to the Burmese military, which uses aircraft to indiscriminately target civilians.

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.”
