<p>The UK supports the role of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human
rights in Myanmar. The UK is currently a member of the UN Human Rights Council, and
we welcome her valuable briefings to that body.</p><p>The UK co-sponsored the resolution
at the March 2017 session of the Human Rights Council which established the Fact Finding
Mission to look into the human rights situation in Burma. We also supported the decision
made at the September 2017 session to extend its mandate until September 2018. Lord
Ahmad reiterated the UK's call for Burma to cooperate with the Fact Finding Mission
during a Special Session of the Human Rights Council on 5 December. The UK will work
with international partners to ensure the Human Rights Council responds appropriately
when the Fact Finding Mission presents its interim report at the March 2018 session.</p>
