The military coup in Myanmar since 1st February 2021 demands new thinking, renewed commitment and a clear and coordinated strategy from the international community.

This Round Table discussion aims to bring together a number of relevant actors and provide insight to the question of how the international community should focus its efforts to best support restoration of democracy, and respect of human rights in Myanmar. Special focus in this discussion will be on how the EU can best play a role in this process. 

The Final Report of the International Parliamentary Inquiry Committee on Myanmar (IPI), published on the 3rd November will provide a basis and background for the discussions.

Focus will be on the role of the EU and Member States in playing their role in a coordinated global response to isolate the military junta, support the pro-democracy forces, and enabling the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
