Myanmar's UN Ambassador, Kyaw Moe Tun, was dismissed by the military junta after publicly urging international intervention to reverse the Feb. 1 coup.
Despite the junta's dismissal, Kyaw Moe Tun vows to continue his fight, and the United Nations currently recognizes him as Myanmar's legitimate envoy, awaiting official notification of any change.
UN officials and the Secretary-General's special envoy have strongly advised against recognizing or legitimizing the Myanmar junta.
The situation sets the stage for a potential diplomatic confrontation at the UN if the junta attempts to install a new ambassador, possibly leading to a General Assembly vote on representation.
