Descriptions

Function: Army Chief of Staff and Quartermaster General of the Myanmar armed forces

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

In addition, Kyaw Swar Lin runs the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), which is one of the two major conglomerates and holding companies operated by the military, generating revenue for the Myanmar armed forces (Tatmadaw). Kyaw Swar Lin is therefore a natural person whose policies and activities undermine democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma, and who provides support for actions that threaten the peace, security and stability of Myanmar/Burma. Lieutenant General Kyaw Swar Lin was appointed as Quartermaster General in May 2020. It is the sixth highest position in the military of Myanmar/Burma. The Office of the Quartermaster General is a department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense and is involved in arms and military equipment procurement for the Myanmar Armed Forces. Since October 2023, he is also Army Chief of Staff. As Army Chief of Staff and Quartermaster General, he forms part of the military regime which has seized power in a military coup and overthrown the legitimately elected leaders of Myanmar/Burma.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Le général de corps d’armée Kyaw Swar Lin a été nommé intendant général en mai 2020. Il s’agit de la sixième position la plus élevée dans l’armée du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. Le bureau de l’intendant général est un département relevant du ministère de la défense qui s’occupe de l’acquisition d’armes et d’équipements militaires destinés aux forces armées du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. Depuis octobre 2023, il est également chef d’état-major de l’armée de terre. En outre, Kyaw Swar Lin dirige la Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), qui est l’un des deux grands conglomérats et holdings gérés par l’armée, générant des recettes pour les forces armées du Myanmar/de la Birmanie (Tatmadaw). En sa qualité de chef d’état-major de l’armée de terre et d’intendant général, il fait partie du régime militaire qui a pris le pouvoir dans le cadre d’un coup d’État militaire et renversé les dirigeants légitimement élus du Myanmar/de la Birmanie. Kyaw Swar Lin est donc une personne physique dont les politiques et les activités compromettent la démocratie et l’État de droit au Myanmar/en Birmanie, et qui soutient des actions qui menacent la paix, la sécurité et la stabilité au Myanmar/en Birmanie.
