<p>The Foreign Secretary visited Burma in September, including Rakhine. The situation
is grave. He met Aung San Suu Kyi and told her clear accountability for those responsible
for atrocities was critical. The UK initiated the EU’s new sanctions on seven military

Affairs Council we would likely need to take further action in response to the UN
Fact Finding Mission report. We are now discussing options for further EU sanctions
with member states, including whether to sanction the Commander-in-Chief and his Deputy.</p>
