International Humanitarian Law (IHL)
UN Security Council Intervention (Chapter VII)
Mediation & Peacebuilding Efforts
The number of people displaced within Myanmar has surged dramatically since the 2021 coup, indicating widespread conflict and insecurity. This is a major humanitarian crisis.
Mainly in Thailand, India, and Bangladesh. This puts pressure on border management and resources of neighboring states, impacting India's security and foreign policy.
This figure includes deaths from direct conflict, military crackdowns, and conflict-related violence, underscoring the severe human cost of the civil war.
Nearly one-third of Myanmar's population requires humanitarian assistance, reflecting widespread food insecurity, lack of access to healthcare, and displacement.

Nearly one-third of Myanmar's population requires humanitarian assistance, reflecting widespread food insecurity, lack of access to healthcare, and displacement.
Involves internal actors, typically the state government against one or more rebel groups, or between multiple non-state armed factions.
Characterized by sustained armed violence and a significant number of casualties (often a threshold of 1,000 battle-related deaths per year is used by researchers to define a major civil war).
Common causes include ethnic or religious divisions, political exclusion, economic inequality, resource scarcity, weak state institutions, and external interference.
Often leads to severe humanitarian crises, including mass displacement, large-scale refugee flows, and widespread human rights abuses.
Can result in state failure, where the government loses effective control over its territory and population, leading to a security vacuum.
Frequently attracts external intervention by regional or global powers, turning internal conflicts into proxy wars and prolonging hostilities.
Consequences include economic devastation, social fragmentation, regional instability, and the rise of extremist groups.
Examples include the Syrian Civil War, Yemen Civil War, Angolan Civil War, Spanish Civil War, and the American Civil War.
Can be protracted and difficult to resolve, often requiring complex peacebuilding, reconciliation, and post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
The involvement of non-state armed groups, including terrorist organizations and militias, is a common feature, complicating conflict dynamics.
