National Unity Government: Ministry of Planning, Finance and Investment Announcement No.11/2021

Sub-title: 

Special announcement prohibiting proposed sale of public estate belonging to diplomatic missions of Myanmar and declaring any purchase thereof to be unlawful

Description: 

"1. The illegitimate military council, the so-called State Administration Council or the provisional caretaker government, is an unlawful association that has seized power by from the people of Myanmar solely through force of arms and against the expressed wishes of the people. Neither the United Nations nor any nation state has accorded recognition to the military council as representative government of Myanmar. 2. The National Unity Government has determined that the illegitimate military council is as unlawful association under Section 16 of the Unlawful Associations Act 1908 and that the military council and any of its successor or subsidiary organisations shall be deemed unlawful associations irrespective of any change of title, composition or dissolution under Section 18 of the said Act. 3. All land, buildings, properties and holdings held in the name of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and organs of state ('public estates’), both within and outwith the Union, ultimately belong to the people of Myanmar. The illegal military council and its subsidiary institutions and organisations, being devoid of the moral and legal right to represent the people of Myanmar, have no right to control, manage or dispose of those public estates. 4. The National Unity Government hereby declares that any sale, in part or in whole, of public estate belonging to the diplomatic missions of Myanmar conducted by the illegal military council to be unlawful and therefore prohibited. 5. The National Unity Government reserves the right to prosecute either the seller or the purchaser or both partaking in any such prohibited transaction at a time and jurisdiction of its choosing. 6. On behalf of the National Unity Government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall consult and collaborate with relevant authorities in the host countries of Myanmar diplomatic missions to preclude unlawful transactions prohibited by this announcement..."
