Special Economic Zones in Myanmar and the State Duty to Protect Human Rights

This report by ICJ outlines key recommendations of why the Government of Myanmar should impose a moratorium on the development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) until it can ensure SEZs can be developed inline with international human rights laws and standards. This report assesses the laws governing Myanmar’s SEZs and finds that the legal framework is not consistent with the State’s duty to protect human rights.
