Burma: Arms Trade
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking, if any, to build international support for a UN mandated global arms embargo against Burma.
- Answer
-
Regardless of broader international support, a UN arms embargo would require majority support in the Security Council and the absence of a veto from any Permanent Members. It is our assessment that there is insufficient support among Permanent Members for such a measure at this time.
