GENEVA: UN investigators on Thursday said serious international crimes had been committed in the four years since Myanmar´s military coup, warning that the violence would only worsen unless the perpetrators faced justice.
Nicholas Koumjian, head of the United Nations´ Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM), said impunity was emboldening the perpetrators to commit further violence.
Myanmar´s ruling junta seized power in coup on February 1, 2021 that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi´s elected government, ending a 10-year experiment with democracy and plunging the Southeast Asian nation into bloody turmoil and a humanitarian crisis.
