The Western Sanctions On Myanmar And Its Impacts

Since the Burmese military junta came to power in September 1988, the US-led western countries have implemented ideological policies for democracy and human rights. They intend to promote reform by imposing sanctions against Burma Specific policies adopted by each country are different because they need to consider their own national interests firstly. For over 21 years, political, economic, military, diplomatic and security sanctions enforced by western countries to Burma are continuing and increasing. However, the punisher didn't get the effect they expected. The Burmese military junta did not hand over power to opposition parties, and sanctions didn't vibrate its base and foundation at all.
