<p>The Foreign Secretary made clear to Burma's State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi in
their meeting of 20 September that holding to account those responsible for atrocities
was of critical importance. The UK will continue to look at all accountability options
and work with our international partners to support those assisting victims and building
evidence. To this end, the UK played a leading role in securing the UN Human Rights
Council Resolution of 27 September that established a mechanism to collect and preserve
evidence of human rights violations in Burma for use in future prosecutions. The UK
also ensured that the Chair of the UN Fact Finding Mission on Myanmar was invited
to brief the UN Security Council on 24 October on its damning report on human rights
violations and abuses in Rakhine, Shan and Kachin since 2011.</p>
