The PSC report incorporates many recommendations to companies on how to ensure their security arrangements respect human rights, including the first guidance in Myanmar on responsible use of closed-circuit TV (CCTV).

The lack of a rights-protecting legal framework for telecommunications, which we identified in our 2015 Sector-Wide Impact Assessment underlies Telenor’s decision to exit Myanmar.  Each company that decides to leave does so based on its particular circumstances, which may be commercial, operational, legal, or as a consequence of stakeholder pressure.  Those that opt to exit should do so responsibly: our co-founder, the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) recently blogged on what that means. Responsible Disengagement was the subject of a recent webinar with the OECD and Eurocham.
