<p>We have urged both civilian and military ministers in the Government to ensure
a restrained security response in Rakhine, allow immediate and unfettered access for
humanitarian aid and to conduct an impartial and independent investigation into allegations
of human rights violations. Most recently, the Foreign Secretary and other Ministers
raised our concerns with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi during her visit to the
UK in May. The Foreign Secretary also raised these issues during his visit to Burma
in January. <br> <br>In March this year, the UK co-sponsored the UN Human Rights Council
Resolution which established an Independent International Fact Finding Mission to
look into the situation in Rakhine State. We urge the Burmese government to cooperate
fully with this mission.</p>
