2. U Kyaw Moe Tun, Ambassador to the United Nations, said that the military institution and its entrenched culture of impunity across all levels are generating a total lack of rule of law in the country
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, Permanent Representative of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to the United Nations stated this at the General Debate of the Ministerial Segment of the High-Level Political Forum held in July 2023.
“Goal 16 remains the cornerstone of other SDGs in Myanmar. Achieving peace, justice, accountable and inclusive institutions will place Myanmar on the right track to meeting all other SDGs. However, the military institution and its entrenched culture of impunity across all levels are generating total lack of rule of law in the country. The dismantling of the rule of law by the military junta is posing a serious threat to the regional peace and stability as the drug and human trafficking and transnational organized crimes continue to flourish.
It is crystal clear that ending this inhumane military junta will bring Myanmar back to the right track of the realization of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals),” Ambassador stated.

Despite the current financial crisis and limited time, in order to overcome the many difficulties faced by all the public and provide banking services, there is policy formulation, the creation of new services, and security measures that are not like those of a conventional bank, so they have to be implemented step by step in an orderly manner.
