Myanmar dismisses UN ambassador over alleged crimes
The Myanmar government, backed by the military, announced the ousting of its permanent ambassador to the United Nations, Kyao Mo Tun, accusing him of engaging in illegal activities and failing to comply with what authorities have instructed. Kyao Mo Tun had called on the international community in February 2021 not to recognize the legitimacy of the military following the coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi's government, and he remained in his position despite the government's decision at the time to dismiss him from civil service. The military authorities in Myanmar accuse Kyao Mo Tun of using state property and funds of the diplomatic mission without authorization. It is expected that the UN Credentials Committee will discuss Myanmar’s representation status in upcoming meetings after delaying the decision since the coup, with support from democratic groups and the National Unity Government formed following the takeover.
