Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar

The Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar (IIMM) is an entity established by the United Nations General Assembly to collect, consolidate, preserve, and analyze evidence of the most serious international crimes and violations of international law committed in Myanmar since 2011. Its primary goal is to facilitate fair and independent criminal prosecutions. The IIMM is particularly relevant now due to escalating airstrikes by Myanmar's military against civilians, as reported in recent news. Furthermore, the organization's work is highlighted by controversies surrounding international figures, such as Roger Stone, who has been condemned for providing lobbying services to the Myanmar military junta. This underscores the ongoing international scrutiny and the need for accountability for alleged atrocities, including potential war crimes, committed by the military-backed government since the 2021 coup. The IIMM's efforts are crucial for documenting these events and ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice.
