《联合国称:缅军的“商业帝国”助长其暴行》
(2019年8月6日消息)
联合国调查人员周一在雅加达表示,缅甸富裕而强大的 缅军需要受到更严厉的制裁,因为其经济利益网络已经创造了财富,帮助为暴行提供资金。
他们敦促国际社会切断与缅军令人眼花缭乱的经济领域的关系,他们说,缅军的经济持股令其他任何一家平民公司都相形见绌。
切断联系将“损害[缅军]在没有监督的情况下进行军事行动的能力,从而减少侵犯人权的行为”,实况调查团主席Marzuki Darusman先生说。
在2017年的镇压行动迫使约74万罗辛亚穆斯林进入孟加拉国后,该团队去年呼吁对缅军高级将领进行种族灭绝起诉。
根据联合国的报告,除了广泛的当地伙伴关系外,至少有15家外国公司与缅军有合资企业,另有44家公司与缅军有某种形式的商业联系。“这些数字实际上只是冰山一角”。
调查员“色多帕色朵底”先生说:两个主要的缅军企业集团,缅甸经济控股有限公司和缅甸经济公司,以及众多的子公司和“裙带公司”在从玉石和红宝石开采到房地产和旅游业的方方面面都有利益。缅军方还控制着两家大型银行。
但这些公司并没有向公众公布全部财务结果,从而使自己不受公众监督的影响。
联合国调查认为,缅军的“商业帝国”允许它逃避责任和监督。这份长达111页的报告还详细介绍了数十家私营公司如何在打击罗辛亚人的行动中向缅军方捐赠了超过1000万美元。
他们帮助资助发展项目,协助缅军方“消除属于缅甸的罗辛亚人的证据”。同时他还说,他发现如此多的公司做出了贡献,这让他感到震惊。“并不是说企业不知道发生了什么。他们知道,”他说。
报告要求对这些公司进行刑事调查,并敦促全面禁止向缅甸出售武器。
联合国监督机构称这份报告是一种号召。“因此,发现自己与一家军事公司有关联的全球政府和公司不能再以无知为借口,”竞选领袖保罗·多诺维茨表示。缅军方发言人表示,他无法置评。
这份报告发布之前,美国上月宣布禁止缅军总司令旅行,这是自罗辛亚危机以来西方大国最强烈的谴责。
尽管2011年启动了向民主统治的过渡,但缅军方在该国仍然拥有强大的政治力量。它仍然控制着四分之一的议会和包括国防部在内的三个关键部委。
"The United Nations Says: The Burmese Army's" Business Empire "Helps Its Atrocities"
(News on August 6, 2019)
Un investigators in Jakarta Monday said Burma's wealthy powerful army needed tougher sanctions because its economic networks had created wealth to help fund atrocities.
They urged the international community to sever ties to the dazzled economic sector of the Tatmadaw, which they say dwarfs any other civilian company.
Cutting off the connection will "damage[ Tatmadaw] The ability to conduct military operations without supervision, thereby reducing human rights violations, "said Mr. Marzuki Darusman, Chairman of the Fact-Finding Mission.
After the crackdown in 2017 forced 74wanluoxinyamusilin into Bangladesh, the team last year called for genocide prosecutions of senior Tatmadaw generals.
According to the United Nations report, in addition to extensive local partnerships, at least 15 foreign companies have joint ventures with the Tatmadaw 44 companies have some form of business connection with the Tatmadaw. These numbers are actually just the tip of the iceberg.
Two major Tatmadaw conglomerates, Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited Myanmar Economic Corporation, as well as numerous subsidiaries "nepotism companies" have an interest in everything from jade Ruby mining to real estate tourism, said the investigator, Mr. Sedopathadow. The military also controls two large banks.
However, these companies did not disclose the full financial results to the public, so that they were not subject to public scrutiny.
The U. N. investigation concluded that the Tatmadaw's "business empire" allowed it to evade responsibility supervision. The 111-page report also details how dozens of private companies have donated more than $10 million to the Burmese military in an operation against the Rohingya.
They helped fund development projects assisted the Burmese military in "removing evidence of Rohingya belonging to Myanmar." He also said he was shocked to find so many companies contributing. "It's not that companies don't know what's going on. They know, "he said.
The report called for a criminal investigation of those companies urged a total ban on the sale of arms to Myanmar.
Un monitoring bodies called the report a call. "So global governments companies that find themselves linked to a military company can no longer use ignorance as an excuse," said campaign leader Baoluo·duonuoweici. A military spokesman said he could not comment.
The report follows last month's announcement that the commander-in-chief of the Tatmadaw was banned from travelling, the strongest condemnation by Western powers since the Rohingya crisis.
Despite the transition to democratic rule initiated in 2011, the Myanmar military still has a strong political presence in the country. It still controls a quarter of the parliament three key ministries, including the Ministry of Defence.
