TARGETED SANCTIONS IN RESPONSE TO HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN MYANMAR AND IRAN

 * Joint media release from Senator The Hon Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign
   Affairs, with:

 * The Hon Tim Watts MP, Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs

01 February 2023

The Australian Government is imposing targeted financial sanctions and travel
bans on individuals responsible for egregious human rights abuses in Myanmar, as
well as sanctions on entities enabling the repression of its people.

The Government is also imposing additional sanctions on Iranian individuals and
entities over abhorrent abuses of human rights.

Sanctioned individuals include 16 members of the Myanmar military regime’s
governing State Administration Council (SAC), as key individuals directly
responsible for the coup d’état two years ago today.

Two Myanmar military controlled entities, Myanmar Economic Public Holdings Ltd
(MEHL) and Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), will also be subject to targeted
financial sanctions.

Over the past two years Australia, ASEAN and international partners have
repeatedly called on the Myanmar regime to engage in constructive dialogue and
find a peaceful and durable resolution to the ongoing crisis.

Despite these calls, the regime has continued its anti-democratic actions
against the people of Myanmar, including violence and recent steps targeting
opposition voices.

The military regime has responded violently to any form of political expression,
including peaceful protests. There is evidence thousands of civilians, including
children, have been jailed, tortured, or killed.

Australia will continue to closely monitor the regime’s actions. We will be
looking to see improvements for people on the ground and moves towards the
restoration of democracy, including credible elections.

In this context, we will continue to keep our targeted sanctions toward Myanmar
under review.

Australia strongly supports ASEAN’s leadership as a key element in responding to
the Myanmar crisis. 

The Australian Government is also imposing Magnitsky-style sanctions on 16
Iranian individuals and one Iranian entity.

Among those subject to Magnitsky-style human rights sanctions are the Basij
Cooperative Foundation, and senior law enforcement, political and military
figures – including those within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) –
involved in the violent crackdown on protests following the death of Mahsa
‘Jina’ Amini and the continued oppression of the people of Iran.

Additionally, Australia is joining partners to impose additional targeted
financial sanctions on four Iranian individuals and four entities involved in
the production and supply of drones to Russia.

Iranian-made drones have been used by Russia to target Ukrainian civilians and
civilian infrastructure.

Australia stands with the people of Myanmar, the people of Iran and with the
people of Ukraine.

We employ every strategy at our disposal towards upholding human rights –
ranging from dialogue and diplomacy to sanctions – consistent with our values
and our interests.

and Trade (dfat.gov.au)

MYANMAR: JOINT STATEMENT ON THE TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE MILITARY COUP

1 February 2023

A joint statement by the High Representative on behalf of the European Union,
and the Foreign Ministers of Albania, Armenia, Australia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Canada, the Federated States of Micronesia, Georgia, Ghana,
Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, the
Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau,
Serbia, Switzerland, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States.

On 1 February 2021, the Myanmar military staged a coup d'état and seized power
against the will of the people, plunging the country into a deep political,
economic and humanitarian crisis.

Over the last two years, the people of Myanmar have courageously demonstrated
their commitment to a democratic country, demanding respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms, and showing determined resilience in the face of
unspeakable atrocities.

Since the coup, the military regime has violently cracked down on any form of
opposition, including peaceful protests. Credible reports indicate that
thousands of civilians, including children, have been jailed, tortured and
killed.

There are mounting reports that air strikes, bombardments and the mass burning
of villages and places of worship have targeted civilians and civilian
infrastructure. Reports of torture and sexual violence by the security forces
are widespread. The prolonged conflict has seen thousands of civilian
casualties, over 17 million people in need and 1.5 million people displaced from
their homes.

We welcome and support the central role of ASEAN in addressing the crisis in
Myanmar, including the efforts of the ASEAN Chair and ASEAN Special Envoy to
Myanmar.

We welcome the UN Security Council Resolution 2669 (2022) on the situation in
Myanmar which calls for the immediate cessation of violence and the upholding of
universal human rights, the provision of full and unhindered humanitarian access
and the protection of civilians. It calls on the military regime to effectively
and fully implement ASEAN's Five-Point Consensus, and to immediately release all
arbitrarily detained prisoners, including President Win Myint and State
Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi. It reaffirms our support for the ASEAN Special
Envoy to Myanmar and the UN Special Envoy to Myanmar and encourages their close
coordination.  It also urges all parties in Myanmar to work constructively with
both Envoys to commence dialogue to seek a peaceful solution.

The military overruled the democratic wishes of the people of Myanmar as
expressed in the November 2020 General Election, when they seized power on 1
February 2021. We reiterate our call for the return of Myanmar to a democratic
path. The military regime must end violence and create space for meaningful and
inclusive dialogue to allow for any democratic process to resume.

We once again call on all members of the international community to support all
efforts to hold those responsible for human rights violations and abuses to
account; to cease the sale and transfer of arms and equipment which facilitate
atrocities; and to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of Myanmar's people,
including its most vulnerable communities. 

We remain resolute in our support for all those working peacefully towards an
inclusive and democratic future for the people of Myanmar.
