answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>We are clear that there should be accountability for the atrocities set out in the reports of the UN Fact Finding Mission on human rights abuses in Myanmar. We assess, however, that there is insufficient support amongst Security Council members for a referral to the International Criminal Court at this time. The UK has nonetheless taken steps to maintain the international spotlight on the atrocities committed. In October 2018 the UK organised for the UN Fact Finding Mission to brief the UN Security Council on its findings. The UK was also instrumental in securing a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council to set up an independent UN mechanism to collect and preserve evidence on the atrocities. This will help to ensure future prosecutions are possible through domestic or international mechanisms.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 08/10/2019 12:44:07 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>The UK regularly voices its concerns about democratic and religious freedoms for minorities in Myanmar. In July, the Ambassador met the Minister for Religious and Cultural Affairs to discuss religious freedom and Christians in Myanmar.</p><p>Our ambassador also called Reverend Samson, President of the Kachin Baptist Church, in July.
