21 April 2025: CHRO is deeply saddened by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. In a moment we will forever cherish, our representative had the honor of presenting him with the Chin traditional dress—a symbol of our people’s identity, resilience, and the dignity of all Indigenous communities. Pope Francis was a tireless moral voice for the oppressed. His unwavering stand for human rights, compassion for refugees, and deep respect for Indigenous peoples inspired hope across the world—including in the hearts of the Chin people. His legacy will continue to guide and strengthen our struggle for justice, freedom, and human dignity.
This escalation, occurring during a moment of humanitarian vulnerability, reflects a deliberate and chilling strategy—not just of military aggression, but of calculated state terror aimed at destabilizing local governance and obliterating public infrastructure in resistance-controlled areas.
Letter to the Editor | Malaysia’s current direction undermines decades of work for peace and justice in Myanmar. It also sends the wrong message to the people of Myanmar, other Asean nations, and those around the world who look to Malaysia as a moral and principled actor in regional affairs. We urge Anwar and Asean leaders to reassess this flawed and dangerous approach. Do not reward atrocity with diplomatic recognition. Do not hand over the fate of an entire nation to backroom deals and private interests.
Our Mission
CHRO works to protect and promote human rights through monitoring, research, documentation, education and advocacy on behalf of indigenous Chin people and other oppressed and marginalized communities in Myanmar.
Our Vision
Through our work, we envision a meaningful social change and the full realization of the enjoyment of human rights where the equal dignity of all human beings is respected and upheld in a free, just and democratic society.
