Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the UK Government supports the recommendation of the UN Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar that the situation in Myanmar should be referred to the International Criminal Court.

The UK is a longstanding supporter of the UN Fact Finding Mission, which we worked with partners to establish. We have worked hard to implement its recommendations. The UK is clear that there must be accountability for the acts of the military, both historic and recent. We are clear that all options should be on the table, this includes referral to the International Criminal Court. We will continue to work with partners to further the cause of accountability, including through our strong support to the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar, and through discussions at the UN Security Council.
