According to the analysis, informants and lobbyists of the terrorist/brutal military have circulated
Facebook accounts, profile pictures and other personal information about the protesters of the flash
mobs via their Telegram channels, encouraging the terrorist military to arrest and murder them. In
commemoration of the 34th anniversary of the 8888 uprising, prominent lobbyists of the terrorist
military circulated the Facebook profile and some information about a youth who took part in the
“Umbrella Strike” staged in the Yangon downtown area on 8 August 2021. The terrorist/brutal military then violently stormed his home as a result.
(3.5) Effectiveness and Impacts of the International Laws on the
People Under Oppression

Local protesters and unjustly arrested people were not protected by international law and standards
after the coup. A legal expert said “The ability of international laws to protect people is zero percent.
Why? Let’s take a closer look at the nature of international law. Legal binding requires “Force” if
there are laws. There is a law, and there is a force as well, so there will be law enforcement. Without
force, the law won’t be enforced. It is like the absence of the law. Therefore, there are laws in the
international community. There is no force in Myanmar to enforce the laws. How can we ensure the
protection of the law in Myanmar unless the enforcement of the law impacts Myanmar? This is not
possible at all. This is impossible.” The military not only disobeys international law but blatantly
breaches it, while international law stands as a standard in Myanmar’s revolution.
