The question is however more if Myanmar can refuse to refuse the help.
I think there isn't too much debate here. Of course it can't. I think the real question is that given it can't refuse aid, and yet it does, can the state be considered as a failure to act as a state (meaning provide the basics of security and safety to its citizens)?
