Myanmar loses regional rights role and 2027 ASEAN chairmanship
Original: Myanmar rights commission disqualified from South-east Asian rights forum, loses 2027 chairmanship
Myanmar's national human rights commission has been disqualified from South-east Asia's regional rights forum, and the country has lost its turn to chair the grouping in 2027. The moves mark a further diplomatic downgrade for Myanmar's ruling military, which has been largely excluded from regional meetings since the 2021 coup. Critics say the commission lacks independence under junta control.
Why now: Myanmar's continued exclusion from regional bodies following the military coup remains a live diplomatic issue.
