Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, in the light of the ongoing Rohingya refugee crisis, what assessment they have made of the possibility of reinstating the EU's annual submission of a resolution at the UN General Assembly criticising Myanmar's human rights record.

The EU Foreign Affairs Council on 16 October, issued conclusions which, in addition to suspending all Burmese military visits to the EU, noted that Member States​ also agreed to consider additional measures if the situation in Rakhine does not improve.

We are currently focused on the resolution on Burma which the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has circulated at the General Assembly to ensure it is in line with the UK's position including on the protection of civilians, full humanitarian access, safe and voluntary return for refugees, swift implementation of the Rakhine Advisory Commission's report, and access for the UN Fact Finding Mission.
