Serbia has continued to supply arms to the Myanmar military since the coup, reports the Irrawaddy, despite the fact that those weapons are being used to attack and kill civilians, including children.

Tom Andrews, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, identified Serbia, along with China and Russia, as UN member states that are continuing to sell arms to the junta.

“By supplying arms to the Burmese military, Serbia is complicit in violations of international law,” said Anna Roberts, Executive Director of Burma Campaign UK. “The Serbian government knows that the weapons it supplies to the Burmese military are used against civilians, with children and babies being injured and killed.”
