Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking in response to the case of genocide brought by the Gambia against Myanmar currently being heard in the International Court of Justice; recent universal jurisdiction cases to prosecute Myanmar’s mass atrocity crimes in several jurisdictions; the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s application for a warrant for the arrest of General Min Aung Hlaing; and whether the United Kingdom invoke Article 14 of the Rome Statute to seek a referral of Myanmar to the International Criminal Court.

I refer the Hon Member to the statement issued by the Foreign Secretary on the fifth anniversary of the military coup in Myanmar (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/foreign-secretary-statement-on-the-fifth-anniversary-of-the-military-coup-in-myanmar) and the answers provided in the House of Lords in February in response to the similar set of Questions HL13818-20, HL13821, and HL13859.
