EU to task officials to draw up sanctions on Myanmar generals

Published February 22, 2018 Updated February 22, 2018 11:26am

The request for a list of names takes the bloc a step closer to imposing travel bans and asset freezes on Myanmar generals over the massacre of Rohingya Muslims, the diplomats said.

Foreign ministers will also ask the EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to look at ways to strengthen the bloc's 1990s-era arms embargo on Myanmar that is still in place.
