According to the Commission’s notification, individuals whose human rights have been violated have the option to file a complaint with the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission. This can be done not only on their own behalf but also on behalf of another person.
If a citizen’s fundamental rights, as outlined in the Constitution and laws, as well as the human rights defined in international and regional treaties ratified by the State, are violated, they may submit a complaint to the Commission. This can be done on their own behalf, on behalf of another individual, or on behalf of a group of people, as stated in Section 30 of the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission Act.
To file a complaint, individuals can address it to the Chairperson of the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission at No. (27), (6) Mile 5, Pyay Road, Hlaing Township, Yangon. Complaints can also be submitted at the Commission’s branch offices located in Nay Pyi Taw, Mandalay, Sittwe, and Pathein, either by post, in person, or via fax at 018-654678. Additionally, complaints can be sent through the Commission’s email address at [email protected].
The complaint must include the following details: (a) the complainant’s name, permanent address, and full contact information (including phone, fax, and email, if available); (b) a detailed description of how the complainant’s human rights were violated and the damages suffered. If necessary, documentary photos and copies of evidence should be attached; (c) a copy of the complainant’s citizenship verification card (this is mandatory); and (d) a signature from the complainant attesting that the contents of the complaint are accurate.
The Myanmar National Human Rights Commission has stated that it will review these complaints and conduct investigations in accordance with its laws and procedures, collaborating with relevant departments and organizations as needed.
