mitigate the potential adverse human rights impacts from
the company’s operations;
Engage regularly and transparently with civil society and
human rights defenders in developing protective
mechanisms and regulations to prevent rights violations;
Engage with civil society in a meaningful and effective
manner in accountability proceedings to compensate and
remedy rights violations already committed and facilitated by
companies — including through the complaints process of
the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises;
Engage with civil society actively and at all times seek all
possible ways to provide information on military orders for
shutdowns or notifications to curtail communications,
particularly network providers and mobile companies; and
Publicly affirm support for the democracy and fundamental
rights of the people of Myanmar and for the rule of law.

shutdowns are being abused by the Myanmar military to
enforce silence. It is imperative we speak up.
