answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2018 answer text <p>In 2017 the UK co-sponsored the resolution at the UN Human Rights Council which set up a Fact Finding Mission to look into the human rights situation in Burma, including violations by the military. Its interim report of March 2018 confirmed the Burmese military was primarily to blame for the widespread and systematic violence against the Rohingya in Rakhine during August and September 2017. We await its final report in September 2018. UK work in the UN Security Council ensured it called on the Burmese authorities to hold those responsible to account. We will continue to work in the Council to ensure it remains focused on the Rohingya crisis and will cntinue to consider how best to use the various tools, inclusing resolutions, at the Council's disposal.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 24/07/2018 14:29:00 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
