Burma: Arms Trade
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make it his policy to support a UN-enforced arms embargo against Myanmar.
- Answer
-
The UK is a longstanding supporter of an arms embargo on Myanmar. An EU arms embargo is already in force. In April 2018 the British Government secured a tightening of this to prohibit the export of dual-use goods and to place restrictions on communications equipment and military cooperation. We assess that there is currently insufficient support in the UN Security Council for a UN-enforced arms embargo against Myanmar.
