<p>Ms Yanghee Lee, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights Situation in Burma,
produces regular reports which assess specifically allegations of human rights violations,
particularly in Rakhine. Her role is mandated by annual UN Human Rights Council Resolutions,
which the UK continues to support firmly. Additionally, UN High Commissioner Zeid
presented a report to the June Human Rights Council in Geneva detailing patterns of
violations and abuses committed over a prolonged period of time against the Rohingya
and other minorities in Burma</p><p><br>While it is clear that violations and abuses
have taken place in Rakhine State, our priority is to encourage the new civilian Government
to take urgent steps to: improve security and the humanitarian situation; lift restrictions
on freedom of movement; and find a sustainable solution on citizenship.</p>
