Special Advisory Council for Myanmar

The Special Advisory Council for Myanmar (abbreviated SAC-M) is an independent advisory group of international experts, to provide an international platform for the democratic movement in Myanmar.

[1] SAC-M was co-founded by three UN officials, Yanghee Lee, Marzuki Darusman and Chris Sidoti, in March 2021, in response to the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état.

[1] The group regularly publishes briefing reports and analyses relating to the domestic situation in post-coup Myanmar.

'[3] In January 2023, SAC-M published a report, Fatal Business: Supplying the Myanmar Military’s Weapon Production, that detailed how the Burmese military had significantly increased arms production as fighting in the Myanmar civil war escalated.

[4] The report implicated foreign companies based in Austria, France, China, Singapore, India, Israel, Ukraine, Germany, Taiwan, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the U.S.[4] This article about an organisation in Myanmar is a stub.
