"...This memorandum draws from the findings of our ongoing investigation and addresses the specific military policies and practices that have le d to indiscriminate attacks and wilful ki l lings of civilians in Myanmar. It appears that t hese policies and practices continue to be implemented today. Much of the analysis and many of the recommendations provided in the pages that follow likely apply to contexts not discussed in this memorandum. First, although this document focuses only on indiscriminate attacks and wilful killings of civilians, there are other forms of abuse — such as torture, forced labor, and sexual violence — that deserve similar attention. Second, this memorand um is limited by the scope of our i nvestigation and therefore focuses only on the policies and practices of the Myanmar military. However, non - state armed group s must also take steps to prevent civilian harm , and their actions should be scrutinized as well . Finally, while this memorandum addresses the situation in conflict zones, much of the analysis could apply to the official use of force in other settings and to security sector reform more generally . We encourage further thought and dialogue on these issues, all of which deserve specific consideration in their ow n right . In this spirit, we remain committed to engaging with all those who seek to achieve the share d goal of protecting and promoting human rights during this critical period of Myanmar?s history..."
