Myanmar government revokes status and seeks action against UN envoy Kyaw Moe Tun
The military-backed government says Kyaw Moe Tun engaged in illegal activities and is pursuing international legal action as the UN defers a ruling on his status.
- On Sunday, Myanmar's military-backed government revoked the status of permanent representative Kyaw Moe Tun, alleging the diplomat engaged in "illegal activities."
- Authorities cited Tun's February 27, 2021, dismissal from the civil service for "failing to follow instructions," as he was originally appointed by the government led by Aung San Suu Kyi.
- Military officials accused Tun of unauthorized use of state property and mission funds while working with the parallel civilian National Unity Government, or NUG.
- Myanmar's government is seeking legal action against Tun through INTERPOL, the United States National Central Bureau, and American agencies utilizing diplomatic channels.
- The UN Credentials Committee is expected to meet in New York later this month to discuss representation disputes, having previously deferred decisions on Myanmar to allow Tun to remain in his post.
