UN committee to decide Myanmar ambassador
The United Nations formed a credentials committee to decide whether to accept the military-backed government's nominee for Myanmar ambassador or to keep Kyaw Moe Tun, who was appointed by the elected government and has refused to accept the 2021 coup. Myanmar's foreign ministry says Kyaw Moe Tun was dismissed in February 2021 for treason and accuses him of misusing mission property and collaborating with the exiled National Unity Government. Committee members include China, Russia and the United States, and its decision will shape international recognition of Myanmar's authorities during a civil war that has killed over 100,000 people.
