censorship, and punishment. This constitutes a deliberate strategy of digital repression rather than inadvertent policy failure. Recommendations • Expose intentional digital repression: The High Commissioner should publicly characterise Myanmar’s digital surveillance regime as a purposeful tool of repression and present these findings to the Human Rights Council. • Advocate targeted sanctions: Urge Member States to sanction military officials and military‐linked entities responsible for supporting and enforcing oppressive cyber legislation and procuring surveillance technologies. • Engage technology providers: Call on the High Commissioner to advise companies supplying DPI, facial‐recognition, or spyware to immediately suspend all activities supporting Myanmar’s security apparatus. • Monitor and report: Establish systematic UN-backed documentation of internet shutdowns, VPN bans, takedowns, and spyware incidents, incorporating input from civil society and technical experts.
