We have led international efforts to reduce the military regime's access to revenue, arms and equipment. On 31 January we announced our fourteenth round of sanctions, targeting those who profit from the supply of aviation fuel to the Myanmar Air Force. Following the coup, we strengthened our overseas business risk guidance to ensure that UK businesses are doing thorough due diligence in Myanmar to avoid exposure to the military and its business interests.<\/p>
We continue to work with our partners to understand how we can take targeted and proportionate action to reduce the military's access to funds to facilitate its campaign of violence.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-20T17:34:51.83Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Myanmar: Armed Forces"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what analysis they have made of revenue flows to the Myanmar military; and what steps they are taking to stem those flows.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4222", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Collins of Highbury"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Collins of Highbury"} ], "uin" : "HL5441"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1403732", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1403732/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Two years on from the first Global Refugee Forum, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Switzerland hosted a follow-on High-Level Officials meeting on 14 and 15 December 2021. With ever-increasing numbers of displaced persons across the globe driven by conflict, climate change and Covid-19, the meeting underlined the continued relevance of the Global Compact on Refugees.<\/p>
Giving the UK Statement, https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/minister-cleverly-intervention-at-global-compact-on-refugees-high-level-officials-meeting
Mr Cleverly, the Minister for the Middle East, North Africa and North America, confirmed the UK's commitment to delivering on the Global Compact and to support forcibly-displaced persons through a holistic approach which restores dignity and offers a viable future. The Minister highlighted the UK's strong track record of helping those who need protection, and the significant support provided by the UK to the world's largest refugee crises. The next Global Refugee Forum will take place in December 2023.<\/p>"}
