READY, AIM, SANCTION!

Sanctions are necessary as a key component of principled engagement with Burma as constructive engagement has failed to bring reforms.

This special report examines existing sanctions and their direct and indirect impact on Burma’s people as well as explores a wide-range of new sanctions - from an import ban on natural gas and oil, the implementation of international anti-money laundering policies, recommendations on withholding assistance from International Financial Institutions to an international arms embargo, assets freeze, and visa ban under the mandate of the United Nations Security Council.
