No. 3/2026

Date: 11 June 2026

The Blood Money Campaign (BMC) has submitted a formal submission to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) regarding ASEAN-based corporate actors’ involvement in the junta’s aerial terror operations and human rights violations in Myanmar. We, BMC, request the Commission’s immediate attention to the urgent need for AICHR to recommend action by ASEAN Member States, issue public statements, and urge measures to protect affected communities in Myanmar and prevent further violations.

The Myanmar military junta led by Min Aung Hlaing has killed nearly 93,000 civilians in Myanmar. From 2021 to April 2026, over 5 years, the junta carried out at least 7,201 airstrike incidents, resulting in 7,809 casualties and 4,496 fatalities, including pregnant women and infants. Myanmar junta violence has forcibly displaced 5.3 million people within Myanmar as of the end of March 2026. At least 1,077 children and 2,193 women had been killed by the Myanmar junta forces since the 2021 military coup attempt.

The intensity of aerial attacks escalated sharply from 85 incidents in 2021 to over 2,504 in 2024. This escalation also highlights the broader link between war crimes in Myanmar and ASEAN’s failure to effectively pressure the Myanmar military junta, which has allowed the violence to continue.

In this advocacy letter to AICHR, we present evidence regarding the actions of companies in certain ASEAN Member States, notably Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia and their governments, which have facilitated human rights violations and war crimes in Myanmar. Evidence suggests that these actors have directly or indirectly facilitated access to foreign revenue, arms, equipment, aviation fuel supply chain, and technology that have fueled atrocities against civilians. These resources have been used to carry out airstrikes. Foreign revenue from the oil and gas sector is implicated in atrocity crimes in Myanmar, providing the military with millions of dollars and sustaining its terror operations and continued commission of international crimes.

According to the mandates in the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) Five-Year Work Plans 2021-2025 (Priority Areas PA 2.5) and 2026-2030 (Mandate 4.11: which includes regional dialogues on responsible business and human rights as a Priority Programme), we urge AICHR to follow these recommendations.
