As the National Unity Government says it has been trying to force the State Administration Council to stand before a tribunal, political observers have raised a question whether it was possible or not.

In a recent meeting of the NUG, the issue was discussed.

He thinks it is just a maneuver of the NUG that is unlikely to achieve success, Chairman of the Arakan Front Party Dr Aye Maung told the CNI.

Dr Aye Maung said," I think it is just a maneuver of the NUG that is unlikely to take effect. The SAC will take its own path. Some political parties and ethnic organizations are following the path and cooperating with the SAC for elections. So, it is not the NUG but the SAC that holds the key. It is just a maneuver that will not achieve success."

He added that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi had appeared before the International Court of Justice and the ICJ would not be able to address the issue. He said the International Criminal Court is not recognized by the majority of the UN Security Council members.

At the NUG meeting on 21st March, NUG Acting President Duwa Lashi La said that it was encouraging to see that Myanmar women human rights activists were able to make a point of bringing the SAC before a tribunal at a press conference, which was held before the closed door meeting of the security council.

Talking about bringing the SAC before a tribunal is intended to give an inspiration to resistance forces, Political Observer U Than Soe Naing told the CNI.

He said, "I think it is just a claim to give inspiration to their forces. The situation has not ripened. First of all, it is necessary to defeat the forces of the SAC. As long as they cannot rout SAC forces, the SAC will make attempts to take its own path under the protection of dictators."

After the SAC took over power on 1st February 2021, protests and armed conflicts erupted to topple the military.
