<p>The Government condemns the atrocities that have taken place in Rakhine including
the violence committed against children. The Foreign Secretary made clear to Burma's
State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi in their meeting of 20 September that holding to
account those responsible for atrocities was of critical importance. The UK co-sponsored
the UN Human Rights Council Resolution of 27 September that established a mechanism
to collect and preserve evidence of human rights violations in Burma for use in future
prosecutions. The UK ensured the Head of the UN Fact Finding Mission was invited to
brief the UN Security Council on 24 October. The UK will continue to look at accountability
options and work with our international partners to support those assisting victims
and building evidence.</p>
