Aung San Suu Kyi is a prominent Burmese politician, diplomat, and author who served as the State Counsellor of Myanmar from 2016 until 2021. She is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate known for her long-standing opposition to military rule in Myanmar and her advocacy for democracy and human rights. However, her reputation has suffered due to her government's handling of the Rohingya crisis, leading to international criticism and her subsequent arrest during the military coup in February 2021. Recently, she was included in an Argentine court's order for arrest for alleged crimes against humanity regarding the Rohingya genocide.
