Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans does the Government have to help ensure (a) accountability and (b) access to justice for children affected by conflict in Myanmar.

The UK is clear that there must be accountability for atrocities committed in Myanmar. We have consistently used our role as penholder to keep Myanmar on the UN Security Council's agenda. On 25 August we announced our intention to intervene in the International Court of Justice's case which is considering Myanmar's compliance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention, in relation to acts against the Rohingya, including children.

The UK provided £49.4 million in aid to the people of Myanmar in 2021/22, including £24 million in humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable, including the Rohingya.
