<p>I welcome the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Burmese Government
and UN agencies, which recognises that UNHCR should be the lead international agency
on refugee returns. It indicates a greater willingness from the Burmese Government
to engage with the international community on the Rohingya crisis. However, swift
implementation will be key.</p><p> </p><p>The UK is continuing to push for access
for the UN and others at the scale required to provide humanitarian and development
support to all communities. We stand ready to do more once access allows, including
exploring options to support the Government to make tangible progress, notably in
the education sector. We will continue to look at how we can support creating the
right conditions on the ground for credible returns up to international standards.
We are also supporting partners who are assisting victims and building evidence, including
on sexual violence crimes.</p>
