Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they have taken since October to bring the Myanmar military junta before the International Criminal Court.

The UK is clear that there must be accountability for the atrocities committed in Myanmar. To support the preservation of evidence for future prosecution, we have provided over £600,000 to the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar and established the Myanmar Witness project. We condemn the ongoing serious human rights violations by the Myanmar Armed Forces, as well as previous atrocities against the Rohingya. These actions require further scrutiny and the UK is supportive, in principle, of any attempts to bring these issues before the International Criminal Court. We support the ICC Prosecutor's initiative to investigate acts committed against the Rohingya.
