Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is their policy in response to the human rights and humanitarian situation in Myanmar; and what steps are they taking, together with allies, to restrict economic and other support to the military regime in that country and to provide humanitarian and other aid to the people of Myanmar.

The UK Government continues to monitor the human rights and humanitarian situation in Myanmar, and has led a strong, coordinated international response to the crisis. Since the coup in February 2021, the UK has worked closely with the US, Canada and the EU to target sanctions on the military leadership, reducing its access to revenue, arms and military equipment. The UK has co-sponsored a number of Human Rights Council resolutions on Myanmar, including a resolution in April 2023 on the human rights situation in Myanmar, which condemns the regime's human rights violations and renews the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on Myanmar. The UK has also provided more than £120 million in humanitarian and development assistance since the coup, focused on life-saving assistance, emergency healthcare and education.
