East Timor triggers Asean first, accuses Myanmar of war crimes
South China Morning Post • 2/16/2026
Summary
Myanmar's military government ordered East Timor's senior diplomat to leave the country after East Timor's judicial authorities accepted a criminal complaint against Myanmar's armed forces. This action has escalated tensions between the two countries and marks a rare step among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which East Timor joined last year. There was no immediate response from East Timor's government.
