<p>UN Security Council Resolution 1606 reaffirmed support for the Arusha Peace Agreement
and began the process for establishing a truth commission and special chamber within
Burundi’s court system to ensure reconciliation and bring to justice those responsible
for crimes against humanity and war crimes. Progress by the Burundian government has
been extremely slow with the Truth and Reconciliation Law only submitted to Parliament
in December 2012 and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission appointed in December
2014. More recently, the Burundian government has refused to engage with the UN and
has refused the appointment of a UN Special Envoy to Burundi. The UK Government continues
to voice concerns over the delay given the links between impunity and instability
in Burundi.</p>
