Myanmar's human rights violations and ASEAN's response : the recent measures may be less significant than they seem/ OBA Mie - 2021

ASEAN member states held an extraordinary leaders' meeting to discuss the situation in Myanmar at the ASEAN secretariat in Jakarta. The fact that ASEAN held an extraordinary meeting to discuss the Myanmar issue and issued a statement are significant in that they mean ASEAN has taken at least some kind of action with regard to the prolonged violence in Myanmar. This violence, which followed a coup d'état by the nation's military on February 1 and which has taken the form of a harsh crackdown on citizens protesting the coup, has resulted in numerous deaths.
