The Tatmadaw has a track record of committing serious human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law in Myanmar for decades. As Director of Dynasty International Company Ltd (DICL), Aung Moe Myint has used his commercial and personal position to provide support for these activities in his role as an importer and broker of arms and dual use goods. Through his control of DICL, he has acted as a key source of weapons and commercial support for the junta, including through his close political/commercial ties with Belarus. Aung Moe Myint has therefore been involved in the supply of restricted goods and/or restricted technology, and dual-use goods, which could have contributed to serious human rights violations. Further, and/or alternatively, Dr Aung Moe Myint is associated with the State Administration Council and Myanmar Security Forces, through his role as Honorary Consul of the Republic of Belarus. He has used this position to carry out engagement on behalf of the State Administration Council and/or the Myanmar Security Forces. Further, and/or alternatively, Dr Aung Moe Myint is associated with the military through his extensive links with the former and current junta regimes.

Myanmar

Asset freeze and making available provisions, Trade sanctions, Travel bans

• The Regulations impose financial sanctions through a targeted asset freeze on designated persons and prohibitions on making funds or economic resources available. This involves the freezing of funds and economic resources (non-monetary assets, such as property or vehicles) of designated persons and ensuring that funds and economic resources are not made available to or for the benefit of designated persons or entities, either directly or indirectly. • The effect of the Regulations is to impose a travel ban on persons who are designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of being made subject to immigration sanctions under the Sanctions Act. • Trade sanctions.

The Burma (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 came fully into force on 31 December 2020. They are intended to ensure that certain financial, trade and immigration sanctions relating to Myanmar continue to operate effectively. You should also review the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 2020 and the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 4) Regulations 2020 to find out any amendments made to the Regulations. This sanctions regime is aimed at encouraging the Myanmar security forces to comply with international human rights law and to respect human rights. These regulations have replaced, with substantially the same effect, relevant existing EU legislation and related UK regulations.

Licensing and exception provisions are contained in Part 6 of the Regulations.
