answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2018 answer text <p>Regardless of broader international support, a UN arms embargo would require majority support in the Security Council and the absence of a veto from any Permanent members. It is our assessment that there is insufficient support amongst Council members at this time but this is an issue under constant review. We have therefore concentrated on renewing and expanding the existing EU arms embargo.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/05/2018 16:00:16 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2018 answer text <p>The UK was instrumental in renewing and expanding the EU arms embargo on Burma. This was adopted formerly on 26 April via written procedure. We do not support the introduction of financial sanctions (beyond asset freezes on individual military figures) at this stage. On balance the FCO believes targeting companies or sectors, and disrupting Burma's financial system, could harm economic development across Burma and impact worst the most vulnerable.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/05/2018 16:00:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
