The UK is clear that there must be accountability for the atrocities committed in Myanmar. We condemn the ongoing serious human rights violations committed by the Myanmar military, including the historic atrocities against the Rohingya. These actions require further scrutiny, and the UK is supportive of any attempts to bring these issues before the International Criminal Court.
