    Will the British government keep siding with China and not support ICC referral, or will they listen to the experts and seek to uphold international law?

    I urge the to immediately refer to the ICC, so that all allegations of crimes against humanity & genocide perpetrated against the can be investigated, as well as allegations of war crimes against other ethnic groups – UN rights Zeid at

    The message is very clear. Ethnic people don't want statue of Daw AungSanSuKyi's father. We want our rights, self-determination, and genuine peace in our land, not General Aung San's statue with hollow promises, we see it has another form of Burmanisation.

    "Citizenship status should be determined according to the Constitution and existing laws." Burmese gov officials have said it over & over again. This means no full citizenship for all Rohingya, no safe return, it means not complying with Rakhine Commission recommendations.

    85 British MPs are now supporting a motion in Parliament for the British government to support referring Burma to the International Criminal Court. How long will the British government keep siding with China in not supporting a referral?

    Military is a key obstacle but it is within the power of Aung San Suu Kyi's government to change the citizenship law, tackle hate speech and itself stop inciting and encouraging hatred and fear of Rohingya and all Muslims.

    There are so many depressing paragraphs in this article, don't read it unless you have a handy wall to bang your head against.

    Suu Kyi apparently thinks women aren't "capable" or "interested in politics" enough to take up more political leadership positions.

    The UN Security Council will discuss Burma again on 23rd July. With the UK taking the same position as China re ICC referral, and backing the Burma govs inquiry despite the fact it can't/won't be a credible investigation, no practical action is likely.

    When you hear the British government talk about accountability, remember they have the same position as China regarding ICC referral. They do not support the UNSC referring Burma to the ICC.

    We will not relent in our efforts to hold the Burmese authorities to account. UK was instrumental in introducing EU sanctions on 7 Burmese military leaders for the violence in and we shall continue to pursue justice for the .

    The secretary general has been very outspoken compared to his predecessors, even calling out the UNSC last year for failing to act. Now he needs to step up again calling on UNSC to back ICC referral.

    In Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, I’ve just heard unimaginable accounts of killing and rape from Rohingya refugees who recently fled Myanmar. They want justice and a safe return home.
