The notice acknowledges that Myanmar “continues to face humanitarian challenges,” but claims termination is justified due to “improvements” in “governance and stability,” including the military junta’s revocation of a state of emergency and plans for “free and fair” elections starting in December.

Military atrocities and attacks on civilians in Myanmar have not diminished and are documented daily in numerous UN investigations and guidance papers and outlined in reporting by the US State Department and other governments, media, and human rights groups.
