In the State Counsellor’s speech at the International Court of Justice on December 11, 2019, Aung San Suu Kyi unequivocally defended Burma’s justice system, and stated: “If war crimes have been committed by members of Myanmar’s Defence Services, they will be prosecuted through our military justice system, in accordance with Myanmar’s Constitution.”
Kachin Women’s Association Thailand begs to differ. In their new briefing paper, they have compiled recent cases of Burma Army torture, killing and shelling of civilian targets from March to August 2019 in Kutkai township, northern Shan State, where there has been no justice.
