The British government has announced that in principle it will support the referral of Myanmar to the International Criminal Court (ICC) weeks after the US made a similar announcement, reports Mizzima.
“This is a significant and welcome step by the British government, building on their recent announcement that they would join the Rohingya genocide case at the International Court of Justice,” said Karin Valtersson, Campaigns Officer at Burma Campaign UK. “For decades the Burmese military have been allowed to get away with violating international law. Action to end impunity sooner could have helped prevent atrocities happening today.”
