Featured case
Telenor - Myanmar exist case
One of the most significant post-coup accountability initiatives involving Myanmar concerned a complaint brought against Telenor ASA through the OECD National Contact Point mechanism.
Submitted on behalf of 474 Myanmar civil society organisations, the complaint raised serious concerns surrounding Telenor’s exit from Myanmar following the 2021 coup.
Key issues raised
The case examined issues including:
Human rights due diligence
Digital security and user data risks
Corporate responsibility during disengagement from conflict settings
Stakeholder consultation and transparency
The process highlighted the risks associated with the potential misuse of user data affecting millions of people under military rule.
Outcome - pending
The Norwegian National Contact Point’s
final statement identified shortcomings in Telenor’s human rights due diligence and called for continued efforts toward remedy and accountability.
The case also contributed to broader international discussions on responsible business conduct, corporate accountability, and digital rights in conflict-affected contexts.
