Myanmar: Armed Conflict
- Question
-
To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, if he will make an assessment of the implications for her policies of the report by Amnesty International entitled Myanmar: New data suggests military still importing fuel for deadly air strikes despite sanctions, published on 31 January 2024.
- Answer
-
We use a range of evidence to inform our response to the Myanmar military's continued import of aviation fuel that is used to carry out airstrikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure. In 2023, the UK imposed six sanctions specifically targeting the import of aviation fuel into Myanmar. We continue to explore both sanction and non-sanction measures to tackle the military's ability to use air capabilities to target civilians.
