“Operators and US contractors among companies added to Myanmar ‘Dirty List’ “
Myanmar’s Ministry of Human Rights has added several international energy operators and U.S. contracting companies to its “dirty list,” accusing them of having business ties with the military junta and contributing to human rights abuses. The ministry said the blacklist is intended to pressure companies to end cooperation with military-linked entities and increase accountability for activities connected to Myanmar’s oil and gas sector. The move highlights ongoing international scrutiny of businesses operating in Myanmar following the 2021 military coup.
