A/HRC/63/19 Other national jurisdictions 51. In addition to these three jurisdictions, the Mechanism has engaged with multiple authorities in the United Kingdom to share information relating to crimes within its mandate, including crimes committed against the Rohingya and other groups in Myanmar, as well as crimes committed in the aftermath of the 2021 military coup. These authorities include the Metropolitan Police War Crimes Team – a specialized unit within the Counter Terrorism Command of the Metropolitan Police Service – which has opened a structural investigation mirroring the situations under consideration by the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 52. The Mechanism’s engagements with additional national jurisdictions remain confidential at the request of the relevant national authorities and due to the sensitivity and preliminary nature of the ongoing investigations. In particular, these investigations are focused on individuals who may have benefitted from and/or provided material assistance to perpetrators of serious international crimes in Myanmar in both the clearance operations of 2016 and 2017 in Rakhine State and the post-coup context. The Mechanism is responding to incoming requests for assistance from national authorities and is also proactively engaging with relevant jurisdictions to encourage investigations and proceedings. 53. Furthermore, the Mechanism is closely monitoring several criminal complaints filed by victims’ groups and civil society organizations regarding post-coup crimes and crimes against the Rohingya during the clearance operations, which have been filed in national courts on the basis of universal or extraterritorial jurisdiction. Complaints have been filed and are currently pending consideration by authorities in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Timor-Leste and Türkiye. III. Progress on cooperation, dialogue and outreach A. Cooperation with Member States and other partners 54. The Mechanism requires the cooperation of numerous entities, including Member States, international organizations, civil society groups, business entities and victims and witnesses, in order to collect information and evidence on the most serious international crimes committed in Myanmar. In an effort to strengthen cooperation with relevant stakeholders, the Mechanism continued to engage in high-level dialogues and consultations with Member States and other partners in various capitals. These engagements provided important opportunities to raise awareness of the Mechanism’s work, to advance cooperation arrangements that facilitate evidence collection and witness interviews within the territories of Member States, and to promote opportunities for supporting accountability processes in national jurisdictions. 55. In accordance with relevant resolutions of the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly calling upon Myanmar to cooperate and engage meaningfully with the Mechanism, the Mechanism regularly requests information from the Myanmar military. 56. To date, the Mechanism has made over two dozen requests to the authorities of Myanmar for information in its possession and for access to the territory of Myanmar. During the reporting period, the Mechanism requested information concerning air strikes conducted by the Myanmar Air Force, including, but not limited to, certain incidents in Mandalay, Magway and Sagaing Regions, as well as in Rakhine and Chin States. The Mechanism also sought information on whether the Myanmar authorities possessed any records, reports or other documentation relating to investigations conducted by the Myanmar Air Force or other Myanmar security forces, or concerning disciplinary proceedings initiated in connection with violations of policy or potential crimes committed by Myanmar security forces in the context of these air strikes. As in previous reporting periods, the Myanmar authorities have not responded to any of the Mechanism’s requests for information or access. 57. During the reporting period, the Mechanism also made requests for information to armed groups active in different states and regions of the country concerning crimes including the killing of civilians and sexual and gender-based violence.
