Myanmar Dismisses ILO's Decision to Invoke Article 33 as Politically Driven

Nay Pyi Taw, June 6, 2025 — The State Administration Council (SAC) of Myanmar has publicly dismissed the significance of the International Labour Organization (ILO)’s decision to invoke Article 33 against Myanmar, stating that local businesses, employers, and workers should continue operations "peacefully and without concern."

The response comes after the ILO’s 113th International Labour Conference, held on June 5, 2025, where the organization officially adopted Article 33 measures against Myanmar for failing to implement recommendations from a previous Commission of Inquiry regarding forced labour and trade union suppression.

“The ILO’s decision is politically motivated and intended to pressure Myanmar’s sovereignty,” the Ministry of Labour of Myanmar stated. “It will not have any direct impact on domestic employers, workers, or the country’s economic operations.”

According to the ministry's statement, the ILO resolution was influenced by one-sided demands aimed at applying international pressure through institutional channels. It rejected the legitimacy of the resolution, framing it as a political tool rather than a genuine labour-related action.
