- Stated grounds
- Myo Myint Oo was the Union Minister for Energy from 5 August 2022 to August 2023. As a former Government Minister, he forms part of the military regime. Under his authority, EU-listed entity Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE) generated revenue for the EU-listed State Administration Council (SAC) and Myanmar Petroleum Enterprise, which is engaged in the import and distribution of aviation fuel including for fighter jets and other military aircraft. As Minister for Energy, he was in charge of enabling the investment and cooperation with foreign partners in the oil and gas sectors, which creates revenue for the SAC, thereby contributing to securing the financial needs of the military regime and to importing aviation fuel for the military which enables the military airstrikes against civilians. In his capacity as former Union Minister for Energy, Myo Myint Oo is therefore a natural person whose actions, policies or activities undermine democracy or the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma, or who engages in, or provides support for, actions that threaten the peace, security or stability of Myanmar/Burma.
