    2/12/2021 United States Targets Leaders of Burma’s Military Coup Under New Executive Order | U.S. Department of the Treasury U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY United States Targets Leaders of Burma’s Military Coup Under New Executive Order February 11, 2021 Washington – Today, the Biden administration launched a new sanctions regime in response to the Burmese military’s coup against the democratically elected civilian government of Burma. In coordination with the issuance of a new Executive Order (E.O.), the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated, pursuant to that E.O., 10 individuals and three entities connected to the military apparatus responsible for the coup. The United States will continue to work with partners throughout the region and the world to support the restoration of democracy and the rule of law in Burma, to press for the immediate release of political prisoners, including State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint, and to hold accountable those responsible for attempting to reverse Burma’s progress toward democracy. These sanctions specifically target those who played a leading role in the overthrow of Burma’s democratically elected government. The sanctions are not directed at the people of Burma. “As the President has said, the February 1 coup was a direct assault on Burma’s transition to democracy and the rule of law,” said Secretary Janet L. Yellen. “The Treasury Department stands with the people of Burma — and we are doing what we must to help them in their eort to secure freedom and democracy.” “We are also prepared to take additional action should Burma’s military not change course.

  • Myanmar Security Outlook: a Taxing Year for the Tatmadaw CHAPTER 4
    CHAPTER 4 Myanmar Security Outlook: A Taxing Year for the Tatmadaw Tin Maung Maung Than Introduction 2015 was a landmark year in Myanmar politics. The general election was held on 8 November and the National League for Democracy (NLD) led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi (daughter of Myanmar armed forces founder and independence hero General Aung San) won a landslide victory over the incumbent Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP; a military-backed party led by ex-military officers and President Thein Sein). This was an unexpected development that could challenge the constitutionally-guaranteed political role of the military. The Tatmadaw (literally “royal force”) or Myanmar Defence Services (MDS) also faced a serious challenge to its primary security role when the defunct Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), a renegade ethnic armed organization (EAO), unleashed a furious assault to take over the Kokang Self-Administered Zone (KSAZ; bordering China) leading to a drawn out war of attrition lasting several months and threatening Myanmar-China relations. Tatmadaw: fighting multiple adversaries Despite actively participating in the peace process, launched by President Thein Sein’s elected government since 2011, The MDS found itself engaged in fierce fighting with powerful EAOs in the northern, eastern and south-eastern border regions of Myanmar. In fact, except for the MNDAA, most of these armed groups that engaged in armed conflict with the MDS throughout 2015 were associated with EAOs which had been officially negotiating with the government’s peace-making team toward a nationwide ceasefire agreement (NCA) since March 2014. Moreover, almost all of them had some form of bilateral ceasefire arrangements with the government in the past.

  • Sanctions and Export Control Developments in the First 50 Days of the Biden Administration
    Sanctions and Export Control Developments in the First 50 Days of the Biden Administration By Elizabeth G. Silver, John E. Bradley and Aleksandra Rybicki March 17, 2021 Monitoring sanctions developments as a heat map for U.S. foreign policy and national security under the Biden Administration. As the calendar flipped past the 50th day of President Joe Biden’s administration on March 11, 2021, a survey of economic sanctions and export control-related developments shows where the Administration felt a pressing need to impose new sanctions, alter existing policies or, in several areas, clarify existing programs. To date, we have not seen substantial changes to any ongoing sanctions programs by the Biden Administration, but we will be watching complex hot spots such as China and Iran as the Administration works through the nuances of its foreign policy and deepens its diplomatic efforts over the coming weeks and months. In this bulletin, we share our thinking on these early developments with our clients and friends to help you keep your sanctions programs current and monitor shifting risk levels posed by your international operations. Africa Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mozambique The Biden Administration advanced the long-standing sanctions program against foreign terrorist organizations operating on the African continent with the designation by the Department of State of two affiliates of the Islamic State, one each in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mozambique, as “foreign terrorist organizations,” adding them to the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s (“OFAC”) Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”) List and subjecting them to broad sanctions. Allied Democratic Forces (also known as ISIS-DRC (“ADF”)) and Ansar al-Sunna (also known as ISIS- Mozambique) are believed to be responsible for multiple attacks on civilians and government security forces that have Vedder Price P.C.
