The UK is committed to ending the crisis in Myanmar, and continues to lead a strong, international response. The UK has worked closely with the US, Canada and the EU to target sanctions on the military leadership, its access to revenue, arms and military equipment. In December 2022, the UK led the first ever UN Security Council resolution on Myanmar, which demands an end to violence and urges immediate implementation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Five Point Consensus. We continue to raise the crisis regularly with a wide range of international partners bilaterally and in multilateral fora.
