Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the UK's role as penholder of the situation in Myanmar at the United Nations Security Council, what steps the Government is taking to address Myanmar’s non-compliance with the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice relating to genocide of the Rohingya.

On 25 August 2022, the UK announced its intention to intervene in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) case regarding Myanmar's compliance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention, in relation to acts committed against the Rohingya. We are also clear that Myanmar should comply with all aspects of the ICJ's Provisional Measures Order, which requires Myanmar to take steps to prevent the commission of genocide against the Rohingya. We understand the ICJ is monitoring Myanmar's compliance with the Provisional Measures Order, which we support.
