The UK continues to lead efforts at the United Nations to keep Myanmar on the International agenda. In its penholder role, the UK convened six UN Security Council (UNSC) meetings in 2024, including the first open meeting in five years focused on the Rohingya. In 2025, three Council meetings have already been held, alongside a UNSC Joint Press Statement on the Myanmar earthquake. The UK has also co-sponsored multiple Human Rights Council resolutions, most recently in April 2025, condemning ongoing human rights violations against the Rohingya and other ethnic minorities.
