	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text The UK has been clear in its condemnation of the coup which took place in Myanmar on 1 February 2021 and subsequent violence by the military which has left 750 people dead. We have coordinated statements through the G7 and UN Security Council, where we secured a Presidential Statement condemning the violence and calling for respect for the democratic transition. The UK stands in solidarity with all those calling for a return to democracy. The Foreign Secretary and I, as Minister for Asia, have spoken to a wide range of counterparts, including the US, France, Germany and Japan. We have also engaged with partners in ASEAN, including with the ASEAN Secretary General, to seek a strong and coordinated response. We welcome ASEAN's Five Point Plan on Myanmar and agree with ASEAN Leaders that the violence must end immediately. We have provided a platform for pro-democracy voices at the UN Human Rights Council and UN Security Council. In response to the military's appalling human rights violations, the UK has imposed sanctions on two key military linked conglomerates that fund the military's actions, and on nine senior military figures. answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 27/04/2021 08:42:34 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2023 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>Those responsible for the atrocities that have been committed in Ukraine will be held to account, including military commanders and other individuals in the Putin regime. Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is barbaric. The UK stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, and we are committed to helping them secure justice for a growing catalogue of war crimes, which would of course include deliberate or disproportionate damage caused to civilian infrastructure by Russian forces. The international community is rightly focused on prosecution for war crimes. That is the right focus to ensure accountability and to have a deterrent effect on the behaviour of those fighting this conflict at the moment. At Ukraine’s invitation, the UK will play a leading role in a core group of like-minded partners to pursue criminal accountability for Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. The Attorney General has just returned from Ukraine, supporting our training of Ukrainian judges. Cases are already being heard in Ukraine itself. Although consideration could be given to using the courts in England and Wales, it will be necessary to have an international tribunal, and we are determined to help secure justice for the growing catalogue of war crimes in Ukraine.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 07/03/2023 17:35:07 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson
