Documentation in Darkness: An Overview of the Human Rights Situation in Burma January – December 2024

June 4, 2025/in ND-Burma's Reports, Periodic Report

ND-Burma and its partners use case studies, interviews, relevant partner reports, and eyewitness testimony to document the overall number of human rights abuses committed by the Burmese Army, its junta-backed militias, and all Ethnic Revolutionary Organizations (EROS) as well as People’s Defence Forces (PDFS) in Burma. However, it is critical to note that the military junta perpetrated the overwhelming majority of the crimes and violence documented in this report.

ND-Burma members have witnessed the Burmese military escalating their assaults on civilians with greater ferocity and brutality. The member organizations of ND-Burma work closely with local communities in urban and rural areas to closely monitor the human rights situation on the ground. Although ND-Burma is dedicated to scrutinizing the individual aspects of human rights, the broader conflict continues to escalate. The victims of the human rights violations reported by ND-Burma and its partners under the Controlled Category List are a stark reminder that each number represents a human life uprooted, irrevocably changed or extinguished under the Burma Army’s four-cuts campaign and civil war. We honour each one of these human rights victims.

ND-Burma regularly produces reports to bring attention to the human rights situation across the country, with a focus on the atrocities taking place across our members’ regions and states. Despite their immense threats, they remain committed to sharing evidence of the crimes committed.

The Network for Human Rights Documentation – Burma Calls for ASEAN to Uphold and Protect Human Rights in New Briefing Paper Ahead of the 46th ASEAN Summit

23 May 2025

For Immediate Release

Today, the Network for Human Rights Documentation-Burma releases a new briefing paper, “ASEAN Must Protect, Not Neglect Human Rights in Burma,” ahead of the upcoming 46th ASEAN Summit, scheduled to take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from May 26 to 27, 2025. ND-Burma members call upon ASEAN to act with integrity and a commitment to protect and promote human rights in Burma, rather than risk legitimizing the terrorist junta through their ongoing engagements.

The upcoming Summit will bring together ASEAN members and dialogue partners. Discussions on Burma will focus on the humanitarian situation and trade. In response to the numerous challenges on the ground, ASEAN must be decisive and united by choosing to stand with the many people and stakeholders of the pro-democracy revolution. The actions and behaviour of the military junta have made it evident that they are not committed to peace, nor to any end of the ongoing hostilities that have killed and wounded thousands.

Since the attempted coup over four years ago, ASEAN has failed to hold the military accountable for its volatile actions and violations of human rights. They must make it clear that these acts of terror will not be tolerated. The Five-Point Consensus has not been effectively implemented, demonstrating the regime’s lack of adherence to international norms and principles. Meanwhile, across the country, particularly in ethnic areas, aerial and ground attacks are relentless, putting innocent civilians at increased risk of injury or death in a junta-fueled crisis that has plunged thousands into poverty and displaced millions.

Further, ND-Burma members urge ASEAN leaders to address the junta’s ongoing deliberate disregard of human life, denounce the sham election plans, provide humanitarian assistance through locally led organizations, prioritize the immediate protection oflocas by advocating for and supporting international accountability mechanisms, and recognize the exceptional bravery and commitment of the leaders of the People’s Movement in Burma by choosing to stand with them.

ND Burma

ND-Burma formed in 2004 in order to provide a way for Burma human rights organizations to collaborate on the human rights documentation process. The 13 ND-Burma member organizations seek to collectively use the truth of what communities in Burma have endured to advocate for justice for victims. ND-Burma trains local organizations in human rights documentation; coordinates members’ input into a common database using Martus, a secure open-source software; and engages in joint-advocacy campaigns.
