The UK is committed to working closely with international partners to coordinate robust action against the Myanmar military. We acknowledge and highlight the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) centrality, reaffirming the regional bloc's strong leadership on the response to the Myanmar crisis. The UK led the UN Security Council Resolution adopted on 21 December 2022 demands an end to violence and urges immediate action by the military regime to fully implement the ASEAN Five Point Consensus and release all those arbitrarily detained.
