Businesses from India, Japan, Korea, Belgium, Russia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand are also included on the list.
The report called for senior military figures to be brought before the International Criminal Court.
Another US tech company named on the list was Cloudflare, which is accused of providing cybersecurity infrastructure for Hlaing’s website. Hlaing has been accused of war crimes by a UN fact-finding mission. He has not responded to the UN accusations.
Among the two UK companies on the list is HR Wallingford, a civil engineering organisation involved in the construction of Bhasan Char, an island in the Bay of Bengal where the government of Bangladesh plans to relocate 100,000 Rohingya. The plan has faced considerable objections from NGOs and human rights groups.

“We hope that being named on this list will prompt some companies to end their involvement with the military or operations linked to human rights and environmental problems,” said Burma Campaign UK. “In doing so, they act as a warning to other companies.”https://t.co/6EFzxJmeXm
