He retired in Jan 2022. He was a member of the State Administration Council (SAC) until Feb2023. He previously served as Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Air Force between 2018 and Jan 2022. On 1 Feb 2021, the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw), led by Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing, staged a coup in Myanmar by setting aside the results of the elections held on 8 Nov 2020 and overthrowing the democratically elected government. As part of the coup, Vice-President Myint Swe, functioning as Acting President, declared a state of emergency on 1 Feb 2021 and transferred the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the state to the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. On 2 Feb 2021, the SAC was established to exercise those powers, preventing the democratically elected government from fulfilling its mandate. As member of the SAC, General Maung Maung Kyaw has been directly involved in and responsible for decision-making concerning state functions and is therefore responsible for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma. Additionally, the SAC adopted decisions restricting the rights to freedom of expression, including access to information, and peaceful assembly. The military forces and authorities operating under the control of the SAC have committed serious human rights violations since 1 Feb 2021, killing civilian and unarmed protestors, restricting freedom of assembly and of expression, including by restricting internet access, and through arbitrary arrests and detention of opposition leaders and opponents of the coup. As a former member of the SAC, General Maung Maung Kyaw was directly responsible for those repressive decisions and for serious human rights violations. Furthermore, in his former capacity as the head of the Myanmar Air Force, he was directly responsible for the bombings in Kayah State in Dec 2021, targeting the civilian population and causing a high number of casualties. Therefore, he is responsible for serious human rights violations.","sanctionType":"Financial sanctions; Travel ban","documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"Switzerland SECO Sanctions List"}},{"id":"8ca0b640-d2b4-4f6c-97bf-efedfd752528","personId":"08ea4abe-f04a-4d82-8966-bdc07bf59db6","regime":"Australia DFAT","program":"Autonomous (Myanmar)","sourceId":"3b04db2f-e886-4e52-806e-362b4f816794","createdAt":"2026-09-25T19:46:02.289Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-19T06:31:06.400Z","delistedAt":null,"designatedAt":null,"legalBasis":null,"reason":null,"sanctionType":null,"documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"Australia DFAT Consolidated List"}},{"id":"5d636871-e162-4547-a29a-25d2f29bd17a","personId":"08ea4abe-f04a-4d82-8966-bdc07bf59db6","regime":"UK OFSI","program":"Myanmar","sourceId":"66ed4dc0-67b5-4ea8-9685-1af45959994b","createdAt":"2026-09-28T05:01:42.869Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-19T05:01:34.967Z","delistedAt":null,"designatedAt":null,"legalBasis":null,"reason":null,"sanctionType":null,"documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"UK Sanctions List (FCDO)"}},{"id":"04591ab4-6aec-4e59-bbcc-740096041616","personId":"08ea4abe-f04a-4d82-8966-bdc07bf59db6","regime":"EU","program":"MMR","sourceId":"2a5618c9-d217-4efa-89f9-81eaf0ba29aa","createdAt":"2026-09-22T11:15:00.199Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-19T04:32:15.346Z","delistedAt":null,"designatedAt":null,"legalBasis":null,"reason":null,"sanctionType":null,"documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"EU Consolidated Sanctions List"}},{"id":"8603b1a3-0dec-43c0-83ee-f6f2ec0f2e1a","personId":"08ea4abe-f04a-4d82-8966-bdc07bf59db6","regime":"OFAC","program":"BURMA-EO14014","sourceId":"cde71e7a-fc82-4a71-ae6b-de8507a3ca81","createdAt":"2026-09-10T14:23:04.907Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-19T04:08:42.102Z","delistedAt":null,"designatedAt":null,"legalBasis":null,"reason":null,"sanctionType":null,"documentUrl":null,"source":{"name":"OFAC SDN"}}],"sourceLinks":[{"externalId":"44873","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T09:02:55.435Z","source":{"name":"Switzerland SECO Sanctions List","url":"https://www.seco.admin.ch/seco/en/home/Aussenwirtschaftspolitik_Wirtschaftliche_Zusammenarbeit/Wirtschaftsbeziehungen/exportkontrollen-und-sanktionen/sanktionen-embargos.html","official":false,"entityType":"company"}},{"externalId":"7324","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T06:31:06.400Z","source":{"name":"Australia DFAT Consolidated List","url":"https://www.dfat.gov.au/international-relations/security/sanctions/consolidated-list","official":false,"entityType":"company"}},{"externalId":"14060","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T05:01:34.967Z","source":{"name":"UK Sanctions List (FCDO)","url":"https://sanctionslist.fcdo.gov.uk/docs/UK-Sanctions-List.xml","official":false,"entityType":"company"}},{"externalId":"128209","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T04:32:15.346Z","source":{"name":"EU Consolidated Sanctions List","url":"https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fsd/fsf/public/files/xmlFullSanctionsList_1_1","official":false,"entityType":"company"}},{"externalId":"31172","fetchedAt":"2026-10-19T04:08:42.102Z","source":{"name":"OFAC SDN","url":"https://sanctionslistservice.ofac.treas.gov/api/publicationpreview/exports/sdn.xml","official":false,"entityType":"company"}},{"externalId":"14060","fetchedAt":"2026-10-08T15:05:37.834Z","source":{"name":"UK OFSI Consolidated List","url":"https://ofsistorage.blob.core.windows.net/publishlive/2022format/ConList.xml","official":false,"entityType":"company"}}],"officerRoles":[],"wikidata":null}
