"ND-Burma?s update (English Burmese) has found that grave human rights violations such as killings and torture are ongoing in conflict areas. Sadly, impunity for abuses continues to be the norm: all 24 cases recorded over the period January ? June 2017 remain uninvestigated and unpunished. Some of the key findings include: ND-Burma recorded 24 human rights violations over the period January ? June 2017. 23 of these violations were recorded in Shan State and one in Kachin State. There were a total of 76 victims. The most common human rights violation was torture, with 14 cases recorded. The second was killing, with 6 cases recorded. 17 out of 24 human rights violations were committed by government security forces. Three were committed by ethnic armed organizations and four by unknown perpetrators. Impunity for human rights violations continues to be the norm. None of the perpetrators in the 24 cases in our update have faced any formal justice mechanisms for their actions..."
