A statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU regarding the fourth anniversary of the Myanmar coup was released on 1 February.


The statement is as follows:


On the fourth anniversary of the military coup in Myanmar, the European Union (EU) reiterates its strongest condemnation of the actions taken by the Myanmar military since 1 February 2021 and calls for the end of all forms of violence and the release of all prisoners arbitrarily detained including President U Win Myint and State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The coup has plunged Myanmar into a dire, political, economic, social, human rights and humanitarian crisis, with widespread violence, including indiscriminate air strikes by the military regime and continuous violations of International Humanitarian Law, mostly affecting the civilian population. The EU underlines the need for accountability for all atrocities committed in Myanmar and the key role of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar in such efforts.
