Reasoned summary
Aung San Suu Kyi's early courage and democratic leadership were substantial. Her later failure to defend the Rohingya and her defence of Myanmar before the International Court of Justice fundamentally reduce the ethical value of that legacy.
This assessment presents six separate ethical dimensions rather than one overall moral score. Each result must be read with its evidence, plausible range, confidence, disputes, exclusions, severe-harm findings and sources.
Most significant negative evidence
The strongest negative evidence concerns denial, silence and international defence of the state while the Rohingya suffered mass atrocity, displacement and systematic persecution.
