Here and there, investigations have been opening in southeast Asia – by Myanmar’s neighbours – into alleged crimes committed after the military took over in 2021. Remarkably, “Turkey was the first to have a case accepted”, says Jenna Dolecek, who worked for the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM) in this new Asymmetrical Haircuts podcast. Meanwhile, legal proceedings have been initiated in Timor-Leste, as Salai Zaj Uk, the head of the Chin Human Rights Organisation, also explains; and attempts have been made in the Philippines, as Chris Gunness, director of the Myanmar Accountability Project points out. Without, so far, leading to any trial.
