answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2014 answer text <p>We are concerned by reports of the use of torture in conflict zones in Burma. We remain one of the most vocal and active members of the international community in supporting those calling for human rights in Burma. We regularly raise our strong concerns regarding any violations of human rights with senior members of the Burmese government and military, amongst others. We strongly support work being led by international partners, including the UN, to help Burma better understand the UN Convention Against Torture, and the steps that need to be taken as part of ratification.</p><p>It is the policy of the British Government that any judgment on whether war crimes have occurred is a matter for international judicial decision, rather than for governments or non-judicial bodies. Our approach is to seek an end to all violations, and to prevent their further escalation, irrespective of whether these violations fit the definition of specific international crimes.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire grouped question UIN 204085 question first answered 10/07/2014 16:57:09 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
