We are supporting the ICJ process which is putting pressure on Myanmar to protect the Rohingya. We provided the funding to enable Rohingya refugees to attend the hearings in December 2019. We are monitoring developments closely. We will keep under review the question of a UK intervention once the Court has ruled on whether the case can proceed.</p><p>The Rohingya crisis remains a UK priority.
