answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2022 answer text <p>On 25 August 2022, the UK announced its intention to intervene in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) case regarding Myanmar's compliance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention, in relation to acts committed against the Rohingya. We are also clear that Myanmar should comply with all aspects of the ICJ's Provisional Measures Order, which requires Myanmar to take steps to prevent the commission of genocide against the Rohingya.</p><p>We convened the UN Security Council in February 2020 following the ICJ's announcement of the Provisional Measures Order and publicly urged Myanmar's compliance with these legally binding obligations. We understand the ICJ is monitoring Myanmar's compliance with the Provisional Measures Order, which we support.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/10/2022 13:36:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2022 answer text <p>The UK is clear that there must be accountability for the atrocities committed in Myanmar. We condemn the continuing grave human rights violations by the Myanmar Armed Forces, as well as historic atrocities against the Rohingya. The UK is supportive, in principle, of any attempts to bring these issues before the International Criminal Court (ICC) where they can be scrutinised.</p><p>However, with regards to a referral by the UN Security Council, our assessment remains that there is insufficient support amongst Security Council members for a referral at this time. It will not advance the cause of accountability for an ICC referral to fail to win Security Council support or to be vetoed; such a result would only give comfort to the Myanmar Armed Forces and reduce the pressure they currently face.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/09/2022 13:52:13 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
