On 13 February, the National Unity Government (NUG) issued a statement declaring its non-recognition of the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission, which was established by the military junta. The NUG also urged the international community not to recognize, engage with, or invite the commission to any meetings.
The Statement is as follows.
The National Human Rights Commission of Myanmar, established by the terrorist military council after unlawfully seizing state power, is neither an independent nor credible institution. It does not align with the Paris Principles and operates solely in accordance with the terrorist military council’s interests. Furthermore, the Commission has failed to stand with or advocate for the people suffering from human rights violations, choosing instead to remain silent on the military council’s international crimes.
