The Myanmar military is a “terrorist group” that should be brought before the international criminal court, and funds flowing to it should be cut via a global sanctions regime, the Special Advisory Council for Myanmar says. First, refer the situation in Myanmar to the international criminal court. The special advisory council is an independent group of international experts on Myanmar. “In response, we want to see three cuts imposed on the Myanmar military: cut the weapons, cut the cash, cut the impunity.”Myanmar’s military has been shooting randomly at civilians, killing children and burning people alive for protesting against its coup staged on 1 February. “Australia failed the Rohingya when Myanmar committed genocide by continuing its military assistance to the Myanmar military and they are once against failing the people of Myanmar by not taking strong action that this grave situation calls for,” the spokeswoman said.
