<p>The UK is clear that the Myanmar Military is responsible for gross human rights
violations across the country. This includes grave violations against children. On
23 June, I [Minister Adams] spoke to the Myanmar Minister for International Cooperation.
I [Minister Adams] encouraged Myanmar to continue to engage with the International
Court of Justice process, and highlighted the need for dialogue to deescalate the
conflict in Rakhine which has seen a significant increase in crimes against children
in the first half of this year. The UK has already imposed sanctions, through the
EU, on members of the Myanmar military responsible for serious human rights violations.
The UK led the international effort to establish the UN Independent Investigative
Mechanism on Myanmar (IIMM), which will collect and preserve evidence for us in future
domestic or international accountability processes.</p>
